The TM0875 gene of Thermotoga maritima encodes a hypothetical protein NP_228683 (PubMed:15229892) of unknown function. Analysis of TM0875 genomic context reveals the presence of MMT1 (a predicted Co/Zn/Cd cation transporter) and an inactive homolog of metal-dependent proteases. Originally classified as an ORFan protein, its homologs were found in other Thermotoga species, and it was added to PFAM as a new family PF12967 (DUF3855).
1o22 belongs to the alpha+beta class and has a new fold (SCOP sunid:90063): beta(2)-loop-beta(2)-alpha-beta of mixed beta-sheet with order 51243 (parallel strands: 2 and 4). The dimer is most likely the biologically relevant form.
1o22 shows weak structural similarity with the phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase 1t4a (Dali Z-scr=4.6), the yggU protein (PDB structure: 1n91; with DALI Z-scr=3; PubMed:15229892), and with the thioesterase superfamily member (PDB structure 2cy9 - found using FATCAT), even though they have very low sequence identity.
