| Description | This entry represents a conserved region within a number of eukaryotic dedicator of cytokinesis proteins (DOCK), which are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) [ , , ], that activate some small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP such as Rac. DOCK proteins are required during several cellular processes, such as cell motility and phagocytosis []. These proteins have a DOCK-homology region 1 (DHR-1, also known as DOCK-type C2 domain) at the N-terminal and a DHR-2 (also known as DOCKER domain) at the C-terminal. The DOCKER domain () is a GEF catalytic domain organised into three lobes, A, B and C, with the Rho-family binding site and catalytic centre generated entirely from lobes B and C. This entry represents Lobe A, formed from an antiparallel array of α-helices that adopts a tetratricopeptide repeat-like fold, which through extensive contacts with lobe B, stabilises DHR-2 domain [ , ]. | Name | DOCKER, Lobe A |
| Short Name | DOCKER_Lobe_A | Type | Domain |
