PF06565: DM10 domain
IPR006602: integrated entry for DM10 domain

Source description

This entry represents the DM10 domain, which consists of approximately 105 residues whose function is unknown. It has been identified in nucleoside diphosphate kinases, namely Nucleoside diphosphate kinase 7 (NDK7), which contain a single copy of the DM10 domain [InterPro reference PUB00085676,InterPro reference PUB00087484], and in uncharacterised proteins including Rib72 from Chlamydomonas and EF-hand domain-containing protein 1/EF-hand domain-containing family member C2 (EFHC1/2) from mammals, which contain multiple copies of DM10 domains. In Chlamydomonas, and possibly mammals, DM10 domain-containing proteins are tightly bound to the flagellar doublet microtubules. This suggests that DM10 domains might act as flagellar NDK regulatory modules or as units specifically involved in axonemal targeting or assembly [InterPro reference PUB00043716,InterPro reference PUB00097750]. This domain have a PH-like fold which includes seven beta strands, with a short 3-4 residue helix after the first strand, and a more extended alpha helical region at the C terminus [InterPro reference PUB00087484,InterPro reference PUB00043716].

Pfam membership is not functional evidence. Whole-protein sequences do not establish domain boundaries. A coverage gap here is not absence from UniProt.

Classification basis

description says unknown function; pfam previous unknown name

No scoring reasons supplied.

Related Mech records

This family joined the worklist after the frozen cross-Mech scan, so other Mechs were not searched for it. Missing links here are not evidence that other Mechs lack it; rows shown come from mentions of a former DUF/UPF name.

No cross-Mech examples are present in the supplied snapshot.

Status and evidence

Seed status
A name-based classification of frozen InterPro/Pfam metadata. UNKNOWN CANDIDATE means the metadata explicitly says the function is unknown. KNOWN HISTORICAL DUF means a DUF name matched without that wording; this heuristic is not proof of a known function and does not establish experimental characterization. EX DUF means Pfam renamed the family away from a DUF/UPF name, as recorded in Pfam's previous identifiers; a rename usually follows published work on some members but is naming history, not proof of function for every member. Some EX DUF families' current names or descriptions still say the function is unknown; their classification basis lists this, and scoring does not treat them as characterized. FALSE POSITIVE TEXT HIT means the naming rules did not match.
Characterization
A separate evidence-scoring result. UNSCORED means no score has been calculated; it is not evidence that the family lacks a known function. Missing scores are not negative evidence. PARTIALLY CHARACTERIZED has partial support; KNOWN HISTORICAL DUF can inherit the seed label or reflect a known-function signal. Neither label implies experimental validation.
Evidence counts
Source-specific signals, not unique proteins, publications, or confidence scores. Known counts Rhea reactions and experimentally supported GO molecular-function annotations. Partial counts functional/domain assignments. Context counts structural, environmental, orthology, interaction and neighborhood signals; context alone does not assign function. Repeated annotations may not be independent.
Curation status
Reported separately from seed classification and characterization. SNAPSHOT ONLY means no curated metadata was supplied for this build. SEEDED denotes a source-derived record, not an expert-reviewed functional claim.
Missing counts
Not available means the source did not supply that counter. A zero is a reported count. Not scored means evidence counts are unavailable.
