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.

Second immunoglobulin domain of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 33 and related Siglecs; member of the C2-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 33 (also known as sialic-acid binding immunoglobulin type-lectin 3 (Siglec-3)) and related Siglecs. CD33, a Siglec family member, is a well-known immunotherapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is an inhibitory sialoadhesin expressed in human leukocytes of the myeloid lineage and some lymphoid subsets, including natural killer (NK) cells. Siglecs are primarily expressed on immune cells and recognize sialic acid-containing glycan ligands. Siglecs are organized as an extracellular module composed of Ig-like domains (an N-terminal variable set of Ig-like carbohydrate recognition domains, and 1 to 16 constant Ig-like domains), followed by transmembrane and short cytoplasmic domains. Human Siglecs are classified into two subgroups, one subgroup is comprised of sialoadhesin (Siglec-1), CD22 (Siglec-2), and MAG (Siglec-4, myelin-associated glycoprotein), the other subgroup is comprised of CD33-related Siglecs which include CD33 (Siglec-3) and human Siglecs 5-11. CD33 (Siglec-3) is the smallest Siglec member. It preferentially binds to alpha2-6- and alpha2-3-sialylated glycans and strongly binds to sialylated ligands on leukemic cell lines. 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. This group includes CD33-related Siglecs which belong to the C2-set of IgSF domains. Unlike the C1-set, the C2-set structures do not have a D strand.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of human titin C terminus and similar proteins; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the fifth immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain from the C-terminus of human titin x and similar proteins. Titin (also called connectin) is a fibrous sarcomeric protein specifically found in vertebrate striated muscle. Titin is gigantic; depending on isoform composition it ranges from 2970 to 3700 kDa, and is of a length that spans half a sarcomere. Titin largely consists of multiple repeats of Ig-like and fibronectin type 3 (FN-III)-like domains. Titin connects the ends of myosin thick filaments to Z disks and extends along the thick filament to the H zone and appears to function similar to an elastic band, keeping the myosin filaments centered in the sarcomere during muscle contraction or stretching. 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.

First immunoglobulin domain of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 22; member of the V-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the first immunoglobulin domain in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 22 (also known as Siglec-2). CD22, a sialic-acid binding immunoglobulin type-lectin (Siglec) family member, is an inhibitory co-receptor of the B-cell receptor (BCR). The inhibitory function of CD22 and its restricted expression on B cells makes CD22 an attractive target against dysregulated B cells that cause autoimmune diseases and B-cell-derived cancers. CD22 plays a vital role in establishing a baseline level of B-cell inhibition, and thus is an important determinant of homeostasis in humoral immunity. Siglecs are primarily expressed on immune cells and recognize sialic acid-containing glycan ligands. Siglecs are organized as an extracellular module composed of Ig-like domains (an N-terminal variable set of Ig-like carbohydrate recognition domains, and 1 to 16 constant Ig-like domains), followed by transmembrane and short cytoplasmic domains. Human Siglecs are classified into two subgroups, one subgroup is comprised of sialoadhesin (Siglec-1), CD22 (Siglec-2), and MAG (Siglec-4, myelin-associated glycoprotein), the other subgroup is comprised of CD33-related Siglecs which include CD33 (Siglec-3) and human Siglecs 5-11. 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. This group belongs to the V-set of IgSF domains.

Fourth Ig-like domain from smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase and similar domains ; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the fourth immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain from smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) and similar domains. The Ig superfamily (IgSF) is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. 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. Unlike the V-set, one of the distinctive features of I-set domains is the lack of a C" strand. The structure of this group shows that the fourth Ig-like domain from myosin light chain kinase lacks this strand and thus belongs to the I-set of the IgSF. I-set domains are found in several cell adhesion molecules (such as VCAM, ICAM, and MADCAM), and are also present in numerous other diverse protein families, including several tyrosine-protein kinase receptors, the hemolymph protein hemolin, the muscle proteins titin, telokin, and twitchin, the neuronal adhesion molecule axonin-1, and the signaling molecule semaphorin 4D that is involved in axonal guidance, immune function and angiogenesis.

Sixth 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 sixth 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.

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.

agrin-responsive first immunoglobulin-like domains (Ig1) of the MuSK ectodomain; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the first immunoglobulin-like domains (Ig1) of the Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK). MuSK is a receptor tyrosine kinase specifically expressed in skeletal muscle, where it plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). MuSK is activated by agrin, a neuron-derived heparan sulfate proteoglycan. The activation of MUSK in myotubes regulates the formation of NMJs through the regulation of different processes including the specific expression of genes in subsynaptic nuclei, the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the clustering of the acetylcholine receptors (AChR) in the postsynaptic membrane. The Ig superfamily (IgSF) is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. 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. Unlike the V-set, one of the distinctive features of I-set domains is the lack of a C" strand. The structure of the MuSK lacks this strand and thus it belongs to the I-set of the IgSF. I-set domains are found in several cell adhesion molecules (such as VCAM, ICAM, and MADCAM), and are also present in numerous other diverse protein families, including several tyrosine-protein kinase receptors, the hemolymph protein hemolin, the muscle proteins titin, telokin, and twitchin, the neuronal adhesion molecule axonin-1, and the signaling molecule semaphorin 4D that is involved in axonal guidance, immune function and angiogenesis.

Immunoglobulin I-set domain of the Leucine-rich repeat and immunoglobin-like domain-containing protein 1 (Lingo-1); The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin I-set (IgI) domain of the Leucine-rich repeat and immunoglobin-like domain-containing protein 1 (Lingo-1). Human Lingo-1 is a central nervous system-specific transmembrane glycoprotein also known as LERN-1, which functions as a negative regulator of neuronal survival, axonal regeneration, and oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Lingo-1 is a key component of the Nogo receptor signaling complex (RTN4R/NGFR) in RhoA activation responsible for some inhibition of axonal regeneration by myelin-associated factors. The ligand-binding ectodomain of human Lingo-1 contains a bimodular, kinked structure composed of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and immunoglobulin (Ig)-like modules. Diseases associated with Lingo-1 include mental retardation, autosomal recessive 64 and essential tremor. The Ig superfamily (IgSF) is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. 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.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM-1); member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM-1). NCAM plays important roles in the development and regeneration of the central nervous system, in synaptogenesis and neural migration. NCAM mediates cell-cell and cell-substratum recognition and adhesion via homophilic (NCAM-NCAM), and heterophilic (NCAM-non-NCAM), interactions. NCAM is expressed as three major isoforms having different intracellular extensions. The extracellular portion of NCAM has five N-terminal Ig-like domains and two fibronectin type III domains. The double zipper adhesion complex model for NCAM homophilic binding involves Ig1, Ig2, and Ig3. By this model, Ig1 and Ig2 mediate dimerization of NCAM molecules situated on the same cell surface (cis interactions), and Ig3 domains mediate interactions between NCAM molecules expressed on the surface of opposing cells (trans interactions) through binding to the Ig1 and Ig2 domains. The adhesive ability of NCAM is modulated by the addition of polysialic acid chains to the fifth Ig-like domain.

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor, and similar domains; member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor. FGF receptors bind FGF signaling polypeptides. FGFs participate in multiple processes such as morphogenesis, development, and angiogenesis. FGFs bind to four FGF receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4). Receptor diversity is controlled by alternative splicing producing splice variants with different ligand binding characteristics and different expression patterns. FGFRs have an extracellular region comprised of three Ig-like domains, a single transmembrane helix, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand binding and specificity reside in the Ig-like domains 2 and 3, and the linker region that connects these two. FGFR activation and signaling depend on FGF-induced dimerization, a process involving cell surface heparin or heparin sulfate proteoglycans. This group also contains fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor like-1(FGFRL1). FGFRL1 does not have a protein tyrosine kinase domain at its C-terminus; neither does its cytoplasmic domain appear to interact with a signaling partner. It has been suggested that FGFRL1 may not have any direct signaling function, but instead acts as a decoy receptor trapping FGFs and preventing them from binding other receptors.

Tapasin-R immunoglobulin-like domain; member of the C1-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin-like domain on Tapasin-R. Tapasin is a V-C1 (variable-constant) immunoglobulin superfamily molecule present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it links MHC class I molecules to the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). Tapasin-R is a tapasin-related protein that contains similar structural motifs to Tapasin, with some marked differences, especially in the V domain, transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions. The majority of Tapasin-R is located within the ER; however, there may be some expression of Tapasin-R at the cell surface. Tapasin-R lacks an obvious ER retention signal.
