| UniProt functional annotation for Q9XYH7 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9XYH7. |
| Organism: | Toxoplasma gondii. | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Sar; Alveolata; Apicomplexa; Conoidasida; Coccidia; Eucoccidiorida; Eimeriorina; Sarcocystidae; Toxoplasma. | |
| Function: | Escorter protein required for import of MIC1 and MIC4 adhesins into the microneme. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11157983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16166092, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18818666}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts directly with MIC1. Part of the MIC6-MIC1-MIC4 complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11157983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16166092, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18818666}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, microneme membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11157983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11861763, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18818666}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11157983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11861763}. Secreted. Note=Released as soluble 35 kDa protein after proteolytic processing of the C-terminus (PubMed:11861763). | |
| Developmental stage: | Detected in tachyzoites (at protein level). Expressed in rapidly dividing tachyzoites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11861763}. | |
| Domain: | The EGF-like domains 2 and 3 and part of the acidic domain interact with the galectin-like domain of MIC1. The presence of at least one of the EGF-like domains, EGF-like domain 2 or EGF-like domain 3, is required for targeting of MIC1 and MIC4 into the microneme. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16166092, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18818666}. | |
| Ptm: | Subject to proteolytic processing involving both the N-terminus and the C-terminus. The first EGF-like domain (EGF-like domain 1) is removed by proteolytic cleavage and is not present in the mature protein. Released as soluble 35 kDa protein after proteolytic processing at the C-terminus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11861763}. | |
