5-aminolevulinate synthase presequence. The N terminal presequence domain found in 5-aminolevulinate synthase exists as an amphipathic helix, with a positively charged surface provided by lysine residues and no stable helix at the N-terminus. The domain is essential for the import process by which ALAS is transported into the mitochondria: translocase of the outer membrane (Tom) and translocase of the inner membrane protein complexes appear responsible for recognition and import through the mitochondrial membrane. The protein Tom20 is anchored to the mitochondrial outer membrane, and its interaction with presequences is thought to be the recognition step which allows subsequent import.
No pairwise interactions found for the domain Preseq_ALAS
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:  No Conserved Features/Sites Found for Preseq_ALAS
