Functional diversity of ankyrin repeats in microbial proteins
Open accessAbstract
Summary The ankyrin repeat (ANK) is the most common protein-protein interaction motif in nature and predominantly found in eukaryotic proteins. The genome sequencing of various pathogenic or symbiotic bacteria and eukaryotic viruses identified numerous genes encoding ANK-containing proteins that were proposed to have been acquired from eukaryotes by horizontal gene transfer. However, the recent discovery of additional ANK-containing proteins encoded in the genomes of archaea and free-living bacteria suggests either a more ancient origin of the ANK motif or multiple convergent evolution events. Many bacterial pathogens employ various types of secretion systems to deliver ANK-containing proteins into eukaryotic cells where they mimic or manipulate various host functions. Understanding the molecular and biochemical functions of this family of proteins will enhance our understanding of important host-microbe interactions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
