Functional Distribution of Single-domain, Multi-domain Superfamilies, and Multi-domain Combinations

Single-domain superfamilies Multi-domain superfamilies Multi-domain sfam combinations
Single function Multiple function Single function Multiple function Single function Multiple function
Enzymatic 82 11 135 42 151 16
Nonenzymatic 78 23 56 30 70 27
Both functions 15 47 17
Total 160 55 191 119 221 60
  • The basic functional distribution of the superfamilies in single- and multi-domain proteins and the functional distribution of multi-domain combinations are shown. The first row lists the number of scop superfamilies that were associated only with enzymatic function in each category. The second row lists the number associated with only nonenzymatic functions, and the third row indicates the number of superfamilies that were associated with both types of function. Altogether, we characterized 160 + 55 = 215 single-domain and 191 + 119 = 310 multi-domain superfamilies, 70 of which overlapped in the two categories.
