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.

Immunoglobulin variable domain (IgV); The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin variable domain (IgV). The IgV family contains the standard Ig superfamily V-set AGFCC'C"/DEB domain topology, and are components of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptors. The basic structure of Ig molecules is a tetramer of two light chains and two heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. In Ig, each chain is composed of one variable domain (IgV) and one or more constant domains (IgC); these names reflect the fact that the variability in sequences is higher in the variable domain than in the constant domain. Within the variable domain, there are regions of even more variability called the hypervariable or complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) which are responsible for antigen binding. A predominant feature of most Ig domains is the disulfide bridge connecting 2 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" strands in the other.

Immunoglobulin (Ig) variable (V) domain of T-cell receptor (TCR) beta chain; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig) variable domain of the beta chain of alpha/beta T-cell antigen receptors (TCRs). TCRs mediate antigen recognition by T lymphocytes, and are composed of alpha and beta, or gamma and delta, polypeptide chains with variable (V) and constant (C) regions. This group includes the variable domain of the alpha chain of alpha/beta TCRs. Alpha/beta TCRs recognize antigen as peptide fragments presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. The variable domain of TCRs is responsible for antigen recognition, and is located at the N-terminus of the receptor. Gamma/delta TCRs recognize intact protein antigens directly without antigen processing and recognize MHC independently of the bound peptide. Members of this group contain standard Ig superfamily V-set AGFCC'C"/DEB domain topology.

Domain C2 of human cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C and similar domains; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig) Domain C2 of human cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C (MyBP-C) and similar domains. MyBP-C is a thick filament protein involved in the regulation of muscle contraction. Mutations in cardiac MyBP-C gene are the second most frequent cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. MyBP-C binds to myosin with two binding sites, one at its C-terminus and another at its N-terminus. The N-terminal binding site, consisting of immunoglobulin (lg) domains C1 and C2 connected by a flexible linker, interacts with the S2 segment of myosin in a phosphorylation-regulated manner. The C1 and C2 Ig domains can bind to and activate or inhibit the thin filament. 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 structures of the Ig domains of MyBP-C lack this strand and thus belong to the I-set of Ig superfamily domains. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Immunoglobulin domain I1 of the titin I-band and similar proteins; a member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin domain I1 of the titin I-band and similar proteins. Titin is a key component in the assembly and functioning of vertebrate striated muscles. By providing connections at the level of individual microfilaments, it contributes to the fine balance of forces between the two halves of the sarcomere. The Ig superfamily (IgSF) is a heterogenous group of proteins, built on a common fold comprised of a sandwich of two beta sheets. The two sheets are linked together by a conserved disulfide bond between B strand and F strand. 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. The Ig I1 domain of the titin I-band 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.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like I-set domain of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM-1) and similar proteins; The members here are composed of the fourth 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. Also included in this group is NCAM-2 (also known as OCAM/mamFas II and RNCAM) NCAM-2 is differentially expressed in the developing and mature olfactory epithelium (OE). One of the unique features of I-set domains is the lack of a C" strand. The structures of this group show that the Ig domain lacks this strand and thus is a member of the I-set of Ig domains.

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.

Fourth 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 fourth 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.

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.

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor_like-1(FGFRL1); 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 like-1(FGFRL1). FGFRL1 is comprised of a signal peptide, three extracellular Ig-like modules, a transmembrane segment, and a short intracellular domain. FGFRL1 is expressed preferentially in skeletal tissues. Similar to FGF receptors, the expressed protein interacts specifically with heparin and with FGF2. 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.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like ectodomain of the LRIG1 (Leucine-rich Repeats And Immunoglobulin-like Domains Protein 1) and similar proteins; member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of subgroup 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. 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. The ectodomain of LRIG1 has two distinct regions: the proposed 15 LRRs and three Ig-like domains closer to the membrane. LRIG1 has been reported to interact with many receptor tyrosine kinases, GDNF/c-Ret, E-cadherin, JAK/STAT, c-Met, and the EGFR family signaling systems. Immunoglobulin 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. The structure of the LRIG1 extracellular Ig domain lacks a C" strand and thus is better described as a member of the I-set of IgSF domains.

Second immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor; 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.
