Proteins similar to alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha (2)-M). This group also contains the pregnancy zone protein (PZP). Alpha(2)-M and PZP are broadly specific proteinase inhibitors. Alpha (2)-M is a major carrier protein in serum. The structural thioester of alpha (2)-M, is involved in the immobilization and entrapment of proteases. PZP is a trace protein in the plasma of non-pregnant females and males which is elevated in pregnancy. Alpha (2)-M and PZ bind to placental protein-14 and may modulate its activity in T-cell growth and cytokine production contributing to fetal survival. It has been suggested that thioester bond cleavage promotes the binding of PZ and alpha (2)-M to the CD91 receptor clearing them from circulation.

Alpha-2-macroglobulin bait region domain; Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. This domain is found in eukaryotic and bacterial proteins. In human A2Ms, this domain encompasses macroglobulin-like domain MG5 and 6 including bait region. In Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms, this domain encompasses MG7 and MG8 including the bait region. The Bait region is cleaved by proteases, followed by a large conformational change that blocks the target protease within a cage-like complex. This model of protease entrapment is recognized as the Venus flytrap mechanism.

This domain contains a short highly conserved region of proteinase-binding alpha-macro-globulins contains the cysteine and a glutamine of a thiol-ester bond that is cleaved at the moment of proteinase binding, and mediates the covalent binding of the alpha-macro-globulin to the proteinase. The GCGEQ motif is highly conserved.

Proteins similar to alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha (2)-M). Alpha (2)-M is a major carrier protein in serum. It is a broadly specific proteinase inhibitor. The structural thioester of alpha (2)-M, is involved in the immobilization and entrapment of proteases. This group contains another broadly specific proteinase inhibitor: pregnancy zone protein (PZP). PZP is a trace protein in the plasma of non-pregnant females and males which is elevated in pregnancy. Alpha (2)-M and PZ bind to placental protein-14 and may modulate its activity in T-cell growth and cytokine production thereby protecting the allogeneic fetus from attack by the maternal immune system. This group also contains C3, C4 and C5 of vertebrate complement. The vertebrate complement is an effector of both the acquired and innate immune systems The point of convergence of the classical, alternative and lectin pathways of the complement system is the proteolytic activation of C3. C4 plays a key role in propagating the classical and lectin pathways. C5 participates in the classical and alternative pathways. The thioester bond located within the structure of C3 and C4 is central to the function of complement. C5 does not contain an active thioester bond.

This group contains class II terpene cyclases, protein prenyltransferases beta subunit, two broadly specific proteinase inhibitors alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha (2)-M) and pregnancy zone protein (PZP) and, the C3 C4 and C5 components of vertebrate complement. Class II terpene cyclases include squalene cyclase (SQCY) and 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase (OSQCY), these integral membrane proteins catalyze a cationic cyclization cascade converting linear triterpenes to fused ring compounds. The protein prenyltransferases include protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) and geranylgeranyltransferase types I and II (GGTase-I and GGTase-II) which catalyze the carboxyl-terminal lipidation of Ras, Rab, and several other cellular signal transduction proteins, facilitating membrane associations and specific protein-protein interactions. Alpha (2)-M is a major carrier protein in serum and involved in the immobilization and entrapment of proteases. PZP is a pregnancy associated protein. Alpha (2)-M and PZP are known to bind to and, may modulate, the activity of placental protein-14 in T-cell growth and cytokine production thereby protecting the allogeneic fetus from attack by the maternal immune system.

Seminal vesicle autoantigen (SVA); This family consists of seminal vesicle autoantigen and prolactin-inducible (PIP) proteins. Seminal vesicle autoantigen (SVA) is specifically present in the seminal plasma of mice. This 19-kDa secretory glycoprotein suppresses the motility of spermatozoa by interacting with phospholipid. PIP, has several known functions. In saliva, this protein plays a role in host defence by binding to microorganizms such as Streptococcus. PIP is an aspartyl proteinase and it acts as a factor capable of suppressing T-cell apoptosis through its interaction with CD4.

(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
