The Sema domain, a protein interacting module, of semaphorins and plexins; Both semaphorins and plexins have a Sema domain on their N-termini. Plexins function as receptors for the semaphorins. Evolutionarily, plexins may be the ancestor of semaphorins. Semaphorins are regulatory molecules in the development of the nervous system and in axonal guidance. They also play important roles in other biological processes, such as angiogenesis, immune regulation, respiration systems, and cancer. Semaphorins can be divided into 7 classes. Vertebrates have members in classes 3-7, whereas classes 1 and 2 are known only in invertebrates. Class 2 and 3 semaphorins are secreted; classes 1 and 4 through 6 are transmembrane proteins; and class 7 is membrane associated via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. Plexins are a large family of transmembrane proteins, which are divided into four types (A-D) according to sequence similarity. In vertebrates, type A plexins serve as co-receptors for neuropilins to mediate the signalling of class 3 semaphorins. Plexins serve as direct receptors for several other members of the semaphorin family: class 6 semaphorins signal through type A plexins and class 4 semaphorins through type B plexins. This family also includes the MET and RON receptor tyrosine kinases. The Sema domain is located at the N-terminus and contains four disulfide bonds formed by eight conserved cysteine residues. It serves to recognize and bind receptors.

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 (Ig)-like domain of class III semaphorin Sema3; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Sema3 and similar proteins. Semaphorins are classified based on structural features additional to the Sema domain. Sema3 is a Class III semaphorin that is secreted. It is a vertebrate class having a Sema domain, an Ig domain, a short basic domain. They have been shown to be axonal guidance cues and have a part in the regulation of the cardiovascular, immune, and respiratory systems. Sema3A, the prototype member of this class III subfamily, induces growth cone collapse and is an inhibitor of axonal sprouting. In perinatal rat cortex, it acts as a chemoattractant and functions to direct the orientated extension of apical dendrites. It may play a role, prior to the development of apical dendrites, in signaling the radial migration of newborn cortical neurons towards the upper layers. Sema3A selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis and induces microvascular permeability. This group also includes Sema3B, -C, -D, -E, -G.

The Sema domain, a protein interacting module, of class 3 semaphorins; Class 3 semaphorins (Sema3s) are secreted regulator molecules involved in the development of the nervous system, vasculogenesis, angiogenesis,and tumorigenesis. There are 7 distinct subfamilies named Sema3A to 3G. Sema3s function as repellent signals during axon guidance by repelling neurons away from the source of Sema3s. However, Sema3s that are secreted by tumor cells play an inhibitory role in tumor growth and angiogenesis (specifically Sema3B and Sema3F). Sema3s functions by forming complexes with neuropilins and A-type plexins, where neuropilins serve as the ligand binding moiety and the plexins function as signal transduction component. Sema3s primarily inhibit the cell motility and migration of tumor and endothelial cells by inducing collapse of the actin cytoskeleton via neuropilins and plexins. The Sema domain is located at the N-terminus and contains four disulfide bonds formed by eight conserved cysteine residues. It serves as a receptor-recognition and -binding module.

Sema6s bind to plexin As in a neuropilin independent fashion. Sema6-plexin A signaling plays important roles in lamina-specific axon projections. Interactions between plexin A2, plexin A4, and Sema6A control lamina-restricted projection of hippocampal mossy fibers. Interactions between Sema6C, Sema6D and plexin A1 shape the stereotypic trajectories of sensory axons in the spinal cord. In addition to axon targeting, Sema6D-plexin A1 interactions influence a wide range of other biological processes. During cardiac development, Sema6D attracts or repels endothelial cells in the cardiac tube depending on the expression patterns of specific coreceptors in addition to plexin A1. Furthermore, Sema6D binds a receptor complex comprising of plexin A1, Trem2 (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2), and DAP12 on dendritic cells and osteoclasts to mediate T-cell-DC interactions and to control bone development, respectively.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of class III semaphorin Sema3; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of Sema3 and similar proteins. Semaphorins are classified based on structural features additional to the Sema domain. Sema3 is a Class III semaphorin that is secreted. It is a vertebrate class having a Sema domain, an Ig domain, a short basic domain. They have been shown to be axonal guidance cues and have a part in the regulation of the cardiovascular, immune, and respiratory systems. Sema3A, the prototype member of this class III subfamily, induces growth cone collapse and is an inhibitor of axonal sprouting. In perinatal rat cortex, it acts as a chemoattractant and functions to direct the orientated extension of apical dendrites. It may play a role, prior to the development of apical dendrites, in signaling the radial migration of newborn cortical neurons towards the upper layers. Sema3A selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis and induces microvascular permeability. This group also includes Sema3B, -C, -D, -E, -G.

The Sema domain, a protein interacting module, of Plexin B; Plexins, which contain semaphorin domains, function as receptors of semaphorins and may be the ancestors of semaphorins. There are three members of the Plexin B subfamily, namely B1, B2 and B3. Plexins B1, B2 and B3 are receptors for Sema4D, Sema4C and Sema4G, and Sema5A, respectively. The activation of plexin B1 by Sema4D produces an acute collapse of axonal growth cones in hippocampal and retinal neurons over the early stages of neurite outgrowth and promotes branching and complexity. By signaling the effect of Sema4C and Sema4G, the plexin B2 receptor is critically involved in neural tube closure and cerebellar granule cell development. Plexin B3, the receptor of Sema5A, is a highly potent stimulator of neurite outgrowth of primary murine cerebellar neurons. Plexin B3 has been linked to verbal performance and white matter volume in human brain. Small GTPases play important roles in plexin B signaling. Plexin B1 activates Rho through Rho-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors, leading to neurite retraction. Plexin B1 possesses an intrinsic GTPase-activating protein activity for R-Ras and induces growth cone collapse through R-Ras inactivation. The Sema domain is located at the N-terminus and contains four disulfide bonds formed by eight conserved cysteine residues. It serves as a ligand-recognition and -binding module.

Members of the Plexin A subfamily are receptors for Sema1s, Sema3s, and Sema6s, and they mediate diverse biological functions including axon guidance, cardiovascular development, and immune function. Guanylyl cyclase Gyc76C and Off-track kinase (OTK), a putative receptor tyrosine kinase, modulate Sema1a-Plexin A mediated axon repulsion. Sema3s do not interact directly with plexin A receptors, but instead bind Neuropilin-1 or Neuropilin-2 toactivate neuropilin-plexin A holoreceptor complexes. In contrast to Sema3s, Sema6s do not require neuropilins for plexin A binding. In the complex, plexin As serve as signal-transducing subunits. An increasing number of molecules that interact with the intracellular region of Plexin A have been identified; among them are IgCAMs (in axon guidance events) and Trem2-DAP12 (in immune responses).

Click on the domain model's accession number to view the multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
To view your query sequence embedded in that multiple sequence alignment, click on the colored bars in the Graphical Summary portion of the search results page,
or click on the triangles, if present, that represent functional sites (conserved features)
mapped to the query sequence.
Concise Display shows only the best scoring domain model, in each hit category listed below except non-specific hits, for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Standard Display shows only the best scoring domain model from each source, in each hit category listed below for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Full Display shows all domain models, in each hit category below, that meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance.
(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
the domain superfamily to which the specific and non-specific hits belong
multi-domain models that were computationally detected and are likely to contain multiple single domains
Retrieve proteins that contain one or more of the domains present in the query sequence, using the Conserved Domain Architecture Retrieval Tool
(CDART).
