Abstract
AlphaFold protein structure database (AlphaFold DB) archives a vast number of predicted models. We conducted systematic data mining against AlphaFold DB and discovered an uncharacterized P-loop NTPase family. The structure of the protein family was surprisingly novel, showing an atypical topology for P-loop NTPases, noticeable twofold symmetry, and two pairs of independent putative active sites. Our findings show that structural data mining is a powerful approach to identifying undiscovered protein families.
