نبذة مختصرة : STI1â€domains are present in a variety of coâ€chaperone proteins and are required for the transfer of hydrophobic clients in various cellular processes. The domains were first identified in the yeast Sti1 protein where they were referred to as DP1 and DP2. Based on hidden Markov model searches, this domain had previously been found in other proteins including the mammalian coâ€chaperone SGTA, the DNA damage response protein Rad23, and the chloroplast import protein Tic40. Here, we refine the domain definition and carry out structureâ€based sequence alignment of STI1â€domains showing conservation of five amphipathic helices. Upon examinations of these identified domains, we identify a preceding helix 0 and unifying sequence properties, determine new molecular models, and recognize that STI1â€domains nearly always occur in pairs. The similarity at the sequence, structure, and molecular levels likely supports a unified functional role. ; © 2021 The Protein Society.
