Length

Function
Muscle-specific type III intermediate filament essential for proper muscular structure and function. Plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure of sarcomeres, inter-connecting the Z-disks and forming the myofibrils, linking them not only to the sarcolemmal cytoskeleton, but also to the nucleus and mitochondria, thus providing strength for the muscle fiber during activity. In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures. May act as a sarcomeric microtubule-anchoring protein: specifically associates with detyrosinated tubulin-alpha chains, leading to buckled microtubules and mechanical resistance to contraction. Contributes to the transcriptional regulation of the NKX2-5 gene in cardiac progenitor cells during a short period of cardiomyogenesis and in cardiac side population stem cells in the adult. Plays a role in maintaining an optimal conformation of nebulette (NEB) on heart muscle sarcomeres to bind and recruit cardiac alpha-actin.

Muscle-specific type III intermediate filament essential for proper muscular structure and function. Plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure of sarcomeres, inter-connecting the Z-disks and forming the myofibrils, linking them not only to the sarcolemmal cytoskeleton, but also to the nucleus and mitochondria, thus providing strength for the muscle fiber during activity (By similarity). In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures (PubMed:25394388). May act as a sarcomeric microtubule-anchoring protein: specifically associates with detyrosinated tubulin-alpha chains, leading to buckled microtubules and mechanical resistance to contraction (PubMed:27102488). Contributes to the transcriptional regulation of the NKX2-5 gene in cardiac progenitor cells during a short period of cardiomyogenesis and in cardiac side population stem cells in the adult. Plays a role in maintaining an optimal conformation of nebulette (NEB) on heart muscle sarcomeres to bind and recruit cardiac alpha-actin (PubMed:27733623).
Similarity
Belongs to the intermediate filament family.

Gibberellin cluster GA4 desaturase
Organism
Gibberella fujikuroi (strain CBS 195.34 / IMI 58289 / NRRL A-6831)
Length
342 amino acids
Function
GA4 desaturase; part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of gibberellins (GAs), diterpenoids that may provide a selective advantage during infection of the preferred host plant, rice (PubMed:23825955, PubMed:9917370, PubMed:10347043, PubMed:12750377, PubMed:15925394). Gibberellins (GAs) are diterpenoids and are synthesized via the mevalonate pathway (PubMed:12750377). Biosynthesis of the major metabolite GA3 (gibberellic acid) from geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) requires 13 steps (PubMed:12750377). The GGPP produced by the geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase GGS2 is converted to ent-kaurene via ent-copalyldiphosphate in a two-step cyclization reaction performed by the bifunctional ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase/ent-kaurene synthase enzyme (CPS/KS) (PubMed:9745028, PubMed:10803977, PubMed:12750377). Ent-Kaurene is metabolized to GAs by a series of oxidation reactions catalyzed by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (PubMed:9917370, PubMed:12750377). Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase P450-4 is an ent-kaurene oxidase that catalyzes the three oxidation steps between ent-kaurene and ent-kaurenoic acid (PubMed:11472927). The highly multifunctional cytochrome P450 monooxygenase P450-1 then catalyzes four steps involving oxidation at two carbon atoms, in the main pathway from ent-kaurenoic acid to GA14 via GA12-aldehyde as well as producing kaurenolides and fujenoic acids as by-products (PubMed:11320210). The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase P450-2 then converts GA14 to GA4 by removal of C-20 (PubMed:11943776). GA4 is further converted to GA7 by the GA4 desaturase DES via 1,2-desaturation before cytochrome P450 monooxygenase P450-3, a 13-hydroxylase, hydroxylates GA7 to GA3, the final product of the GA-biosynthetic pathway (PubMed:12750377).

ATP synthase subunit delta, mitochondrial
Organism
Neurospora crassa (strain ATCC 24698 / 74-OR23-1A / CBS 708.71 / DSM 1257 / FGSC 987)
Length
165 amino acids
Function
Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP turnover in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation. Part of the complex F(1) domain and of the central stalk which is part of the complex rotary element. Rotation of the central stalk against the surrounding alpha(3)beta(3) subunits leads to hydrolysis of ATP in three separate catalytic sites on the beta subunits.
Similarity
Belongs to the ATPase epsilon chain family.
