In molecular biology dimeric alpha beta barrel domain (Dim_A_B_barrel) is a protein structural motif found in proteins with a ferredoxin-like fold.[2]

Structure

Pairs of these proteins assemble into a beta barrel structure.[3] Dimeric α-β barrel domains exhibit an α+β sandwich fold with an antiparallel β-sheet that forms a closed barrel. These domains dimerise through the β-sheet, and in some cases these dimers may assemble into higher oligomers.[4]

Function

The function of this barrel is quite varied, indicating versatility in its biological roles.[3]

Examples

Domains with this structure are found in proteins from several different families,[5] including:

  • Bacterial actinorhodin biosynthesis monooxygenase (ActVa-Orf6), which catalyses the oxidation of an aromatic intermediate of the actinorhodin biosynthetic pathway[6]
  • Bacterial muconalactone isomerase, a decamer composed of five dimers[7]
  • The C-terminal domain of archaeal LprA, a member of the Lrp/AqsnC family of transcription regulators[8]
