This domain is found at the C termini of several Penicillin-binding proteins and bacterial serine/threonine kinases [1]. It binds the beta-lactam stem, which implicates it in sensing D-alanyl-D-alanine - the PBP transpeptidase substrate. It is a small globular fold consisting of 3 beta-sheets and an alpha-helix. The name PASTA is derived from PBP and Serine/Threonine kinase Associated domain.
Serine/threonine protein kinase-like, C-terminal PASTA-like domain
This domain is found in Non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase from Staphylococcus aureus (PrkC) and similar bacterial proteins. PrkC is responsible for triggering spore germination in response to muropeptides, signaling bacteria to exit dorman ...
This domain is found in Non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase from Staphylococcus aureus (PrkC) and similar bacterial proteins. PrkC is responsible for triggering spore germination in response to muropeptides, signaling bacteria to exit dormancy. The extracellular region of PrkC is a linear modular structure composed of three PASTA (penicillin binding-associated and serine/threonine kinase- associated, Pfam:PF03793) domains and a PASTA-like C-terminal domain, which presents an immunoglobulin-like fold and the typical features of adhesive proteins [1-3].
