The Rossmann fold is a super-secondary structure that is characterized by an alternating motif of beta-strand-alpha helix-beta strand secondary structures. Hence this fold is also called a βαβ fold. The β-strands participate in the formation of a β-sheet. The βαβ fold structure is commonly observed in enzymes that have dinucleotide coenzymes, such as FAD, NAD and NADP. | The Rossmann fold is a super-secondary structure that is characterized by an alternating motif of beta-strand-alpha helix-beta strand secondary structures.

NAD(P) is a two electron acceptor and donates the two electrons to FAD. The transfer of electrons takes place from C4 of NAD(P) to N5 of FAD. Each of these atoms is marked by its respective number in Figure 1. | NAD(P) is a two electron acceptor and donates the two electrons to FAD.

In dinucleotide binding flavoproteins, FAD binding Rossmann fold is commonly located close to the amino terminus of the protein. Figure 2 shows the first Rossmann fold of two flavoproteins, D-amino acid oxidase ([[2e48]])<ref>PMID:17303072</ref> and glutathione reductase ([[3grs]])<ref>PMID:3656429</ref>. In both enzymes, the first β-strand is followed by a tight loop that is connected to the N-terminal of the helix. The two highly conserved Gly residues in the consensus sequence are located in this turn to allow the sharp bending of the chain. At the end of the helix there is a wider turn that is followed by the second beta strand that runs parallel to the first strand. | In dinucleotide binding flavoproteins, FAD binding Rossmann fold is commonly located close to the amino terminus of the protein.

The βαβ fold has a structure similar to the fold shown above for FAD. For both enzymes, the first β-strand is followed by a tight turn that is connected to the N-terminal of the helix. The same Gly-x-Gly-x-x-Gly consensus sequence appears at the turn between the first strand and the helix.

To illustrate a βαβ fold in a complete protein, a 3D example (PDB ID: [[1f3p]]) is shown below. The example protein is a ferredoxin reductase from Pseudomonas that binds both an FAD and NADH <ref>PMID:11090282</ref>. This enzyme binds NADH which transfers its two electrons to the FAD coenzyme of ferredoxin reductase. These electrons are then transferred to a ferredoxin that is an iron sulfur electron transfer protein. This ferredoxin then donates the electrons to an oxygenase that uses the electrons in a dioxygenase reaction. | To illustrate a βαβ fold in a complete protein, a 3D example (PDB ID: [[1f3p]]) is shown below.

As seen in the above example of ferredoxin reductase the β-sheet that is in the nucleotide domain may have more than two strands. In many (but not all) proteins with βαβ fold, the β-strands may be part of a larger β-sheet with up to seven β-strands. Figure | As seen in the above example of ferredoxin reductase the β-sheet that is in the nucleotide domain may have more than two strands. In many (but not all) proteins with βαβ fold, the β-strands may be part of a larger β-sheet with up to seven β-strands. Figure 5 shows five strands forming a β-sheet in phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase ([[2p9e]]). Note that the segment connecting the second strand to the third is in coiled confirmation and not helical. Whereas the subsequent connections between strands include α-helix segments. | ||
As seen in the example in Fig. 5, the direction of the strands are all parallel. This represents a general trend in Rossmann folds. However in some Rossmann folds there may be some strands in anti-parallel direction.<ref name="Hanukoglu-2015" /> | |||
As compared to the direction of the β-strands, the direction of the helical segments is generally anti-parallel to the β-strands (Fig. 5). | |||
In some Rossmann fold domains, the segments in between the β-strands may include a complex series of helical and coiled segments (for example see [[3bhi]]). | |||

A myriad of proteins include the βαβ Rossmann fold. Many of these proteins can be grouped in a hierarchy of families based on their sequence similarities <ref>PMID:11514662</ref>,<ref>PMID:8749365</ref>,<ref>PMID:17658942</ref>. Yet, many of these families do not show any significant sequence homology across families. | A myriad of proteins include the βαβ Rossmann fold.

The observation that the βαβ structure and its consensus sequence is observed in many seemingly unrelated proteins raises the question whether the origin of the βαβ fold of all these proteins is a common ancestral sequence. Alternatively, there is also a possibility that this structure emerged in different proteins independently. | The observation that the βαβ structure and its consensus sequence is observed in many seemingly unrelated proteins raises the question whether the origin of the βαβ fold of all these proteins is a common ancestral sequence.
