InterPro domain: IPR041846

This entry represents a domain found in the early nodulin-like protein (OsENODL1) from Oryza sativa and similar proteins. OsENODL1 belongs to the phytocyanin family of blue copper proteins, a ubiquitous family of plant cupredoxins. Phytocyanin is involved in electron transfer reactions with the Cu centre transitioning between the oxidized Cu(II) form and the reduced Cu(I) form. OsENODL1 expression occurs specifically at the late developmental stage of the seeds. Members of this subgroup appear to have lost the T1 copper binding site [ 1 , 2 , 3 ].
