==Structural Information==
[[1yud]] ''chain a'' is member of the cupin superfamily, which includes proteins with a barrel-like structure. This superfamily includes 20 families and is one of the functionally most diverse known thus far, anyway, the functional site of members of this superfamily is generally located at the center of a conserved barrel. <ref>Garima Agarwal et al. 2009. Structure-Based Phylogeny as a Diagnostic for Functional Characterization of proteins with a Cupin Fold. PloS ONE. Volume 4.</ref> The nine beta-strands of chain A are arranged in a beta-barrel-like structure, at the center of which there is a conserved domain ending in a heavy electronegative cavity, suggesting an interaction with positively charged molecules.
The comparison of most structurally related proteins showed a conserved cluster specific for bivalent cations. This cluster was discovered analyzing data from Dali algorithm <ref>Holm L, Rosenström P. 2010. Dali server: conservation mapping in 3D. Nucl. Acids Res. 38, W545-549.</ref> and was confirmed by data from Skan algorithm <ref>Petrey D, Honig B. Methods Enzymol 2003, 374:492-509</ref>. The involved amino acids in this interactions are ''His55'', ''Leu57'', ''Glu61'' and probably ''Mse111''. ''His'' and ''Glu'' are almost always present in the aligned sequences. ''Leu'' and ''Mse'' represent two exceptions. There are no correspondences in the Dali-alignment with ''Leu'' and ''Mse'', but, in this set of proteins, [[1zvf]] ''chain a'' is the only one which binds a bivalent cation (Ni<sup>++</sup>) and that brings a sulfur-containing amino acid at the same time (''Cys126''). This can suggest that Ni<sup>++</sup> is the interacting cation. Anyway, the most present cations in the annotated aligned sequences were Zn<sup>++</sup> and Mn<sup>++</sup>, so one of these ions could be the one which actually binds the protein as well.
These informations were obtained using tools provided by MarkUs <ref>Markus Fischer. 2011. MarkUs: a server to navigate sequence–structure–function space. Oxford Journals. Life Sciences. Nucleic Acids Research. Volume39, Issuesuppl 2. Pp. W357-W361</ref> server.
