A cysteine rich repeat found in several different extracellular receptors. The function of the repeat is unknown. Three copies of the repeat are found Plexin (Swiss:P70206) [1]. Two copies of the repeat are found in mahogany protein. A related C. elegans protein (Swiss:Q19981) contains four copies of the repeat. The Met receptor contains a single copy of the repeat. The Pfam alignment shows 6 conserved cysteine residues that may form three conserved disulphide bridges, whereas [1] shows 8 conserved cysteines. The pattern of conservation suggests that cysteines 5 and 7 (that are not absolutely conserved) form a disulphide bridge (Personal observation. A Bateman).
This domain family is found in bacteria, and is approximately 60 amino acids in length. The family is found in association with Pfam:PF00560, Pfam:PF08191, Pfam:PF09479. There are two completely conserved residues (I and F) that may be functionally i ...
This domain family is found in bacteria, and is approximately 60 amino acids in length. The family is found in association with Pfam:PF00560, Pfam:PF08191, Pfam:PF09479. There are two completely conserved residues (I and F) that may be functionally important. Internalin mediates bacterial adhesion and invasion of epithelial cells in the human intestine through specific interaction with its host cell receptor E-cadherin. This family is the N terminal of internalin, the cap domain of the protein. The cap domain is conserved between different internalin types. The cap domain does not interact with E cadherin, therefore its function is presumably structural: capping the hydrophobic core.
