Hedgehog/Intein domain, found in Hedgehog proteins as well as proteins which contain inteins and undergo protein splicing (e.g. DnaB, RIR1-2, GyrA and Pol). In protein splicing an intervening polypeptide sequence - the intein - is excised from a protein, and the flanking polypeptide sequences - the exteins - are joined by a peptide bond. In addition to the autocatalytic splicing domain, many inteins contain an inserted endonuclease domain, which plays a role in spreading inteins. Hedgehog proteins are a major class of intercellular signaling molecules, which control inductive interactions during animal development. The mature signaling forms of hedgehog proteins are the N-terminal fragments, which are covalently linked to cholesterol at their C-termini. This modification is the result of an autoprocessing step catalyzed by the C-terminal fragments, which are aligned here.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
