| Documentation | The hok/gef family of Gram-negative bacterial proteins are toxic to cells
when over-expressed, killing the cells from within by interfering with a
vital function in the cell membrane [1]. Some family members (flm) increase
the stability of unstable RNA [1], some (pnd) induce the degradation of
stable RNA at higher than optimium growth temperatures [2], and others
affect the release of cellular magnesium by membrane alterations [2]. The
proteins are short (50-70 residues), consisting of an N-terminal hydro-
phobic (possibly membrane spanning) domain, and a C-terminal periplasmic
region, which contains the toxic domain. The C-terminal region contains a
conserved cysteine residue that mediates homo-dimerisation in the gef
protein, although dimerisation is not neccessary for the toxic effect [3].
HOKGEFTOXIC is a 2-element fingerprint that provides a signature for the
hok/gef family. The fingerprint was derived from an initial alignment of 6
sequences: motif 1 includes the hydrophobic, putative transmembrane region;
and motif 2 contains the periplasmic toxic region - together they span the
region encoded by PROSITE pattern HOK_GEF (PS00556), which contains the
conserved Cys residue involved in homo-dimerisation in the gef protein. Two
iterations on OWL23.2 were required to reach convergence, at which point a
true set comprising 7 sequences was identified.
An update on SPTR37_9f identified a true set of 11 sequences.
