However, the CyaB adenylyl cyclase, which was identified in the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila is unrelated to any of these above superfamilies of enzymes [ 16 ] . Though close relatives of this enzyme exist in some bacteria, like
These include the PAS-like fold, which is the scaffold of the PAS [ 11 12 ] , GAF [ 13 ] , and probably the CACHE [ 14 ] superfamilies, and the ACT-like fold, which is seen in ACT, ferredoxin and related ligand-binding domains [ 4 15 ] . Identification of such conserved domains has, often, improved our understanding of the general structural and biochemical features that underlie protein-small molecule interactions.
We show that, in spite of the functional similarities, and the similar quaternary structures, there are three distinct superfamilies of SSAPs, namely the RecT/Redβ, RAD52 and ERF, that appear to be evolutionarily unrelated to each other.
We also identify the potential active site- and substrate interacting-residues and postulate that these enzymes are likely to catalyze a two-metal ion dependent reaction on structural scaffold that is completely different from that seen in the other two superfamilies of adenylyl cyclases.
These superfamilies show a wide distribution in viral and cellular genomes, but appear to have originally evolved in large DNA bacteriophages.
