Immunoglobulin domain; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig) domain found in the Ig superfamily. The Ig superfamily is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. Members of this group are components of immunoglobulin, neuroglia, cell surface glycoproteins, including T-cell receptors, CD2, CD4, CD8, and membrane glycoproteins, including butyrophilin and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein. A predominant feature of most Ig domains is a disulfide bridge connecting the two beta-sheets with a tryptophan residue packed against the disulfide bond. Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains can be divided into 4 main classes based on their structures and sequences: the Variable (V), Constant 1 (C1), Constant 2 (C2), and Intermediate (I) sets. Typically, the V-set domains have A, B, E, and D strands in one sheet and A', G, F, C, C' and C" in the other. The structures in C1-set are smaller than those in the V-set; they have one beta sheet that is formed by strands A, B, E, and D and the other by strands G, F, C, and C'. Moreover, a C1-set Ig domain contains a short C' strand (three residues) and lacks A' and C" strand. Unlike other Ig domain sets, C2-set structures do not have a D strand. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand, but lack a C" strand.

Fifth immunoglobulin domain of the Drosophila melanogaster Dscam protein, and similar domains; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the fifth immunoglobulin domain of the Drosophila melanogaster Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) protein and similar proteins. Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) is a cell adhesion molecule that plays critical roles in neural development, including axon guidance and branching, axon target recognition, self-avoidance and synaptic formation. DSCAM belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and contributes to defects in the central nervous system in Down syndrome patients. Vertebrate DSCAMs differ from Drosophila Dscam1 in that they lack the extensive alternative splicing that occurs in the insect gene. Drosophila melanogaster Dscam has 38,016 isoforms generated by the alternative splicing of four variable exon clusters, which allows every neuron in the fly to display a distinctive set of Dscam proteins on its cell surface. Drosophila Dscam1 is a cell-surface protein that plays important roles in neural development and axon tiling of neurons. It is shown that thousands of isoforms bind themselves through specific homophilic (self-binding) interactions, a process which mediates cellular self-recognition. Drosophila Dscam2 is also alternatively spliced and plays a key role in the development of two visual system neurons, monopolar cells L1 and L2. This group is a member of the I-set Ig domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand but lack a C" strand.

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in Robo (roundabout) receptors; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in Robo (roundabout) receptors. Robo receptors play a role in the development of the central nervous system (CNS), and are receptors of the Slit protein. Slit is a repellant secreted by the neural cells in the midline. Slit acts through Robo to prevent most neurons from crossing the midline from either side. Three mammalian Robo homologs (Robo1, Robo2, and Robo3), and three mammalian Slit homologs (Slit-1,Slit-2, Slit-3), have been identified. Commissural axons, which cross the midline, express low levels of Robo; longitudinal axons, which avoid the midline, express high levels of Robo. Robo1, Robo2, and Robo3 are expressed by commissural neurons in the vertebrate spinal cord and Slit-1, Slit-2, Slit-3 are expressed at the ventral midline. Robo-3 is a divergent member of the Robo family which instead of being a positive regulator of Slit responsiveness, antagonizes Slit responsiveness in precrossing axons. The Slit-Robo interaction is mediated by the second leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of Slit and the two N-terminal Ig domains of Robo, Ig1 and Ig2. The primary Robo binding site for Slit-2 has been shown by surface plasmon resonance experiments and mutational analysis to be the Ig1 domain, while the Ig2 domain has been proposed to harbor a weak secondary binding site. This group belongs to the I-set of IgSF domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand, but lack a C" strand.

Kunitz/Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor domain; Indicative of a protease inhibitor, usually a serine protease inhibitor. Structure is a disulfide rich alpha+beta fold. BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) is an extensively studied model structure. Certain family members are similar to the tick anticoagulant peptide (TAP). This is a highly selective inhibitor of factor Xa in the blood coagulation pathways. TAP molecules are highly dipolar, and are arranged to form a twisted two- stranded antiparallel beta-sheet followed by an alpha helix.

Drosophila melanogaster Kunitz domain 1, Manduca sexta lacunin Kunitz domain 1, and simialr proteins; This model includes Drosophila melanogaster Kunitz domain 1 of papilin and Manduca sexta Kunitz domain 1 of lacunin, and similar proteins. D. melanogaster papilin is an essential extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that influences cell rearrangements. It may act by modulating metalloproteinase action during organogenesis and is able to non-competitively inhibit procollagen N-proteinase, an ADAMTS metalloproteinase. M. sexta lacunin is a large multidomain ECM containing several domains including several Kunitz-type protease inhibitors, thrombospondin type I, immunoglobulin-like and others. It exerts multiple effects on a variety of cell behaviors associated with the complex phenomenon of epithelial morphogenesis. These domains are similar to Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) that shows an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

Kunitz-type domain from the alpha3 chain of human type VI collagen, and similar proteins; This model includes the Kunitz-type domain from the alpha3 chain of type VI collagen (collagen alpha 3(VI) chain), encoded by COL6A3 gene. Collagen VI is a widely expressed member of the triple helix-containing protein superfamily of collagens and forms beaded microfibrils that anchor large interstitial structures. Immediately after fibril formation, the Kunitz domain can be cleaved off. Mutations in the alpha1, alpha2, and alpha3 chains of collagen VI cause myopathies ranging from the severe Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy to the milder Bethlem myopathy, including intermediate forms. Early onset isolated dystonia, a neurological disease, has been shown to be caused by mutations in the alpha3 chain. Findings also indicated potential associations between COL6A3 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. This domain is similar to that of Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor), showing an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

Kunitz-type domain from the alpha1 chain of type XXVIII collagen, and similar proteins; This model includes the Kunitz-type domain from the alpha1 chain of type XXVIII collagen (collagen alpha-1(XXVIII) chain) and similar proteins. The zebrafish has four collagen XXVIII genes all of which are differentially expressed in the liver, thymus, muscle, intestine and skin; only the alpha1 chain contains the Kunitz domain which is often proteolytically processed. Mammals only contain the alpha1 collagen chain, expressed mostly in dorsal root ganglia and peripheral nerves. The Kunitz domain is found at the C-terminus, and is most related to Kunitz domains of papilin and alpha3(VI) collagen. This domain is similar to that of Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) that shows an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

Kunitz domain 2 of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-1 (HAI1); This model includes Kunitz domain 2 (KD2) of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1 or HAI1, also known as Kunitz-type protease inhibitor 1), a membrane-bound multidomain protein essential to the integrity of the basement membrane during placental development. HAI-1 contains an extracellular region and several internal domains that include two Kunitz domains separated in sequence but spatially closed to each other, and their interdomain interactions have evolved to stimulate the inhibitory activity of an integrated Kunitz. While the Kunitz domain 1 (KD1) is the major inhibitory domain of HAI-1 and involved in auto-inhibition of the extracellular region via steric blockage of its active site in the HAI-1 compact tertiary structure, studies show that deletion of HAI-1 Kunitz domain 2 (KD2) and the extracellular region enhanced inhibition of matriptase. HAI-1 KD2 has been shown to have potent inhibitory activity against trypsin, but it cannot inhibit hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA), and matriptase. HAI-1 is also important in maintaining postnatal homeostasis in many tissues, including keratinization of the epidermis, hair development, colonic epithelium integrity, proliferation and cell fate of neural progenitor cells, and tissue injury and repair. The interaction between HAI-1 and matriptase is critical for tissue morphogenesis and cellular biology. HAI-1:matriptase ratio imbalance results in tumorigenesis; slight overexpression of matriptase relative to HAI-1 causes spontaneous squamous cell carcinoma, a phenotype that can be effectively reversed back to wild type by additional expression of HAI-1, indicating the need for a tight functional relationship between the two to maintain homeostasis. The structure of KD2 is similar to those of Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor), showing an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

Fifth immunoglobulin domain of the Drosophila melanogaster Dscam protein, and similar domains; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the fifth immunoglobulin domain of the Drosophila melanogaster Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) protein and similar proteins. Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) is a cell adhesion molecule that plays critical roles in neural development, including axon guidance and branching, axon target recognition, self-avoidance and synaptic formation. DSCAM belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and contributes to defects in the central nervous system in Down syndrome patients. Vertebrate DSCAMs differ from Drosophila Dscam1 in that they lack the extensive alternative splicing that occurs in the insect gene. Drosophila melanogaster Dscam has 38,016 isoforms generated by the alternative splicing of four variable exon clusters, which allows every neuron in the fly to display a distinctive set of Dscam proteins on its cell surface. Drosophila Dscam1 is a cell-surface protein that plays important roles in neural development and axon tiling of neurons. It is shown that thousands of isoforms bind themselves through specific homophilic (self-binding) interactions, a process which mediates cellular self-recognition. Drosophila Dscam2 is also alternatively spliced and plays a key role in the development of two visual system neurons, monopolar cells L1 and L2. This group is a member of the I-set Ig domains, having A-B-E-D strands in one beta-sheet and A'-G-F-C-C' in the other. Like the V-set Ig domains, members of the I-set have a discontinuous A strand but lack a C" strand.

second Kunitz domain of WAP, Kazal, immunoglobulin, Kunitz and NTR domain-containing proteins; This subfamily includes WAP, Kazal, immunoglobulin, Kunitz and NTR domain-containing protein 1 (WFIKKN1, WFKN1), WFIKKN2 (WFKN2), and similar proteins. WFIKKN proteins are protease inhibitors that contain two distinct Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domains. They may have serine protease- and metalloprotease-inhibitor activity. This model represents the second Kunitz (KU2) domain, which has been shown to inhibit trypsin, but not chymotrypsin, elastase, plasmin, pancreatic kallikrein, lung tryptase, plasma kallikrein, thrombin, urokinase or tissue plasminogen activator. However, the inhibition constant of this domain for bovine trypsin is about five orders of magnitudes lower than that of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) for trypsin. This could be due to unfavorable side-chain conformation of a tryptophan at P2' site which is incompatible with a trypsin complex; typical trypsin inhibitors of the Kunitz family feature a tyrosine residue or other less bulky residues at this site. The structure of KU2 is similar to those of Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor), showing an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

Kunitz domain 1 (KD1) of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2) and similar proteins; This model represents the Kunitz-type domain 1 (KD1) of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2 or TFPI-2) and similar proteins. TFPI2 exhibits inhibitory activity primarily toward trypsin, plasmin, and factor VIIa (FVIIa)/tissue factor (TF) via its KD1. It is believed to be the major inhibitor of plasmin in the extracellular matrix (ECM) but has little inhibitory activity toward urokinase-type plasminogen activator, tissue-type plasminogen activator, or thrombin. TFPI2 specifically inhibits the proteases via the P1 arginine residue in KD1. The TFPI2 domains KD2 and KD3 appear to have no discernible inhibitory activity and may serve to bind to nearby proteins to localize TFPI2 in the ECM. Structure studies of KD1 complexed with proteases may help in the development of specific and potent KD1 domain protein that may have a large pharmacologic impact in preventing tumor metastasis, retinal degeneration, and degradation of collagen in the ECM. The structure of this domain is similar to that of Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor), showing an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

Kunitz-type domain 1 (KD1) of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 2 (HAI-2), and similar proteins; This model includes the Kunitz domain 1 (KD1) of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 2 (HAI-2 or HAI2, also known as placental bikunin or Kunitz-type protease inhibitor 2). HAI-2 is composed of two Kunitz domains that strongly inhibit many serine proteases with sub-nanomolar affinities. HAI-2 Kunitz domain 1 (KD1) has been found to be the domain responsible for inhibition of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) activator; activated HGF/scatter factor (HGF/SF) binds to its receptor tyrosine kinase MET to induce dimerization and initiate phosphorylation cascades leading to comprehensive cellular changes that, in the deregulated context of cancer, drive malignant transformation and progression. HAI-2 has been found to be a natural tumor suppressor in renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer and prostate cancer; its loss leads to tumor growth and progression in part due to increased MET signaling. HAI-2 is also a specific substrate for mesotrypsin, which is up-regulated with progression in prostate cancers and shown to contribute to invasion and metastasis; these activities of mesotrypsin may in part be mediated through cleavage and inactivation of HAI-2, resulting in increases in HGF/SF activation and MET signaling. HAI-2 is a physiological inhibitor of hepsin and matriptase, two type II transmembrane serine proteases that, like HGF activator, can convert latent pro-HGF/SF into the two-chain active signaling heterodimer. The structures of these KD1 domains are similar to those of Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor), showing an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.

early lactation protein (ELP), colostrum trypsin inhibitor (CTI), and similar proteins; This model includes the Kunitz-type proteins, colostrum trypsin inhibitor (CTI, also called colostrum BPI) and early lactation protein (ELP). In marsupials, the ELP gene is expressed in the mammary gland and the protein is secreted into milk during early lactation. Mature ELP shares approximately 55.4% similarity with the colostrum-specific bovine CTI protein. Marsupial ELP and eutherian CTI both have a single Kunitz domain and are secreted only during the early lactation phases, suggesting that this protein may have an important role in the immunologically immature young of these species. These proteins are similar to Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors such as BPTI (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) that shows an alpha/beta fold with irregular secondary structure stabilized by three disulfide bonds.
