9.B.295.  The Archaeal 6/7 TMS Protein (Ar6/7) Family 

The proteins of the Ar6/7 family have 6 or 7 TMSs and are somewhat longer than 200 residues. With a second iteration of an NCBI PSI-BLAST search, RodA proteins come up with low scores almost exclusively, suggestion that this family may be related to family TC# 2.A.103.


Examples:

TC#NameOrganismal TypeExample
9.B.295.1.1

Uncharacterized protein of 238 aas and 7 TMSs.

UP of Candidatus Lokiarchaeota archaeon CR_4 (sediment metagenome)

 
9.B.295.1.2

Uncharacterized protein of 239 aas and 7 TMSs

UP of Lokiarchaeum sp. GC14_75

 
9.B.295.1.3

Uncharacterized protein of 208 aas and 6 TMSs.

UP of Lokiarchaeum sp. GC14_75

 
9.B.295.1.4

Uncharacterized protein of 179 aas and 5 TMSs

UP of Candidatus Lokiarchaeota archaeon CR_4 (sediment metagenome)

 
9.B.295.1.5

Uncharacterized protein of 230 aas and 7 TMSs

UP of Candidatus Helarchaeota archaeon (marine sediment)

 
9.B.295.1.6

Uncharacterized protein of 239 aas and 6 or 7 TMSs, with a hydropathy plot resembling those of 6 TMSs VIC family proteins   (TC# 1.A.1). Also VIC family proteins come up in TC BLAST searches with a score of 0.0001.  Thus, this protein, and maybe all membeers of the family, may be VIC-type pore proteins.
