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. Pssm-ID: 409353 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 70 Bit Score: 43.47 E-value: 4.77e-06

Third immunoglobulin domain of the Drosophila melanogaster Dscam protein, and similar domains; a member of the Constant 2 (C2)-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the third 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. 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 C2-set of IgSF domains, having A, B, and E strands in one beta-sheet and A', G, F, C, and C' in the other. Unlike other Ig domain sets, the C2-set lacks the D strand.

Fourth Ig domain of the neural cell adhesion molecule contactin-2, and similar domains; The members here are composed of the fourth Ig domain of the neural cell adhesion molecule contactin-2. Contactins are comprised of six Ig domains followed by four fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol. Contactin-2 (also called TAG-1, axonin-1) facilitates cell adhesion by homophilic binding between molecules in apposed membranes. The first four Ig domains form the intermolecular binding fragment which arranges as a compact U-shaped module by contacts between Ig domains 1 and 4, and domains 2 and 3. It has been proposed that a linear zipper-like array forms, from contactin-2 molecules alternatively provided by the two apposed membranes.

HHLA2 is a member of the B7 family of immune regulatory proteins. Mature human HHLA2 consists of an extracellular domain (ECD) with three immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic domain. HHLA2 is widely expressed in human cancers including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLS), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and melanoma, but has limited expression on normal tissues. Interestingly, unlike other members of B7 family, HHLA2 is not expressed in mice or rats. HHLA2 functions as a T cell coinhibitory molecules as it inhibits the proliferation of activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and their cytokine production. Furthermore, HHLA2 is constitutively expressed on the surface of human monocytes and is induced on B cells after stimulation, however it is not inducible on T cells.

TIM-3 is a checkpoint inhibitor in immune responses to tumors, as well as involved in chronic viral infections. Thus, Tim-3 has emerged as one of most promising immune checkpoint targets for cancer immunotherapy. Tim-3 is highly expressed on Th1 lymphocytes and CD11b(+) macrophages and is upregulated on activated T and myeloid cells. TIM-3 regulates macrophage, activation and inhibits Th1 mediated immune responses to promote immunological tolerance. There are three TIM family members in humans (TIM-1, TIM-3, and TIM-4) and eight members in mice (TIM-1 to TIM-8). The IgV domain of human TIM-3 has been shown to bind ligands such as carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1)and galectin-9 (GAL9). The binding of GAL9 to TIM-3 can negatively regulate Th1 immune response, enhance immune tolerance and inhibit anti#tumor immunity. Dysregulation of the TIM-3/GAL9 pathway is implicated in numerous chronic autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Fifth immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactin; The members here are composed of the fifth immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of contactins. Contactins are neural cell adhesion molecules and are comprised of six Ig domains followed by four fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains anchored to the membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol. The first four Ig domains form the intermolecular binding fragment, which arranges as a compact U-shaped module via contacts between Ig domains 1 and 4, and between Ig domains 2 and 3. Contactin-2 (TAG-1, axonin-1) may play a part in the neuronal processes of neurite outgrowth, axon guidance and fasciculation, and neuronal migration. This group also includes contactin-1 and contactin-5. The different contactins show different expression patterns in the central nervous system. During development and in adulthood, contactin-2 is transiently expressed in subsets of central and peripheral neurons. Contactin-5 is expressed specifically in the rat postnatal nervous system, peaking at about 3 weeks postnatal, and a lack of contactin-5 (NB-2) results in an impairment of neuronal activity in the rat auditory system. Contactin-5 is highly expressed in the adult human brain in the occipital lobe and in the amygdala. Contactin-1 is differentially expressed in tumor tissues and may, through a RhoA mechanism, facilitate invasion and metastasis of human lung adenocarcinoma.
