All DUBs contain a catalytic domain surrounded by one or more subdomains, some of which contribute to target recognition. The ~120-residue DUSP (domain present in ubiquitin-specific proteases) domain is one of these specific subdomains. Single or tandem DUSP domains are located both N- and C-terminal to the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase catalytic core domain. The DUSP domain displays a tripod-like AB3 fold with a three-helix bundle and a three-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet resembling the legs and seat of the tripod. Conserved residues are predominantly involved in hydrophobic packing interactions within the three alpha-helices. The most conserved DUSP residues, forming the PGPI motif, are flanked by two long loops that vary both in length and sequence. The PGPI motif packs against the three-helix bundle and is highly ordered. The function of the DUSP domain is unknown but it may play a role in protein/protein interaction or substrate recognition.

Famous quotes containing the words domain and/or architecture:
“While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
