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 (IgV) domain of B7-H4; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domain of B7-H4 (also known as B7-S1, B7x, or Vtcn1). B7-H4 is one of the B7 family of immune-regulatory ligands that act as negative regulators of T cell function; it contains one IgV domain and one IgC domain. The B7-family consists of structurally related cell-surface protein ligands, which bind to receptors on lymphocytes that regulate immune responses. The binding of B7-H4 to unidentified receptors results in the inhibition of TCR-mediated T cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression and IL-2 production. As a co-inhibitory molecule, B7-H4 is widely expressed in tumor tissues and its expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis in human cancers such as glioma, pancreatic cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and lung cancer.

Immunoglobulin Variable (IgV) domain of B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of immune checkpoint molecules; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domain of B7-H3 also known as CD276), a member of the B7 family of immune checkpoint molecules. B7-H3 is an important immune checkpoint member of the B7 family and shares homology with other B7 ligands such as programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). The B7 family molecules interact with CD28 on T-cells to provide co-stimulatory signals that regulate T-cell activation and T-helper cell differentiation. Although B7-H3 has been shown to have both co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory effects on T-cell responses, the most current studies describe B7-H3 as a T cell inhibitor that promotes tumor aggressiveness and proliferation. Moreover, B7-H3 is highly overexpressed on a wide range of human solid cancers and promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. Thus, B7-H3 expression in tumors often correlates with both negative prognosis and poor clinical outcome in cancer patients. B7-H3 protein contains a predicted signal peptide, V- and C-like Ig domains (IgV and IgC), a transmembrane region, and an intracellular tail.

Immunoglobulin Variable (IgV) domain of Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1); The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domain of Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1; also known as Cluster of Differentiation 274 (CD274)). PD-L1 is a cell-surface ligand that competes with PD-L2 for binding to the immunosuppressive receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1). PD-1 is a member of the B7 family that plays an important role in negatively regulating immune responses upon interaction with its two ligands, PD-L1 or PD-L2. Like PD-L2, PD-L1 interacts with PD-1 and suppresses T cell proliferation and cytokine production. The PD-1 receptor is expressed on the surface of activated T cells, while PD-L1 is expressed on cancer cells. When PD-1 and PD-L1 bind together, they form a molecular shield protecting tumor cells from being destroyed by the immune system. Thus, inhibiting the binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 with an antibody leads to killing of tumor cells by T cells. PD-1 inhibitors (such as Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, and Cemiplimab) and PD-L1 inhibitors (such as Atezolizumab, Avelumab, and Durvalumab ) are an emerging class of immunotherapy that stimulate lymphocytes against tumor cells.

Immunoglobulin variable domain (IgV) in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 86; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin variable region (IgV) in the Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 86). Glycoproteins B7-1 (also known as cluster of differentiation (CD) 80) and B7-2 (also known as CD86) are expressed on antigen-presenting cells and deliver the co-stimulatory signal through CD28 and CTLA-4 (also known as CD152) on T cells. signaling through CD28 augments the T-cell response, whereas CTLA-4 signaling attenuates it. The CTLA-4 and B7-2 monomers are both two-layer beta-sandwiches that display the chain topology characteristic of the immunoglobulin variable (V-type) domains present in antigen receptors. The front and back sheets of B7-2 are composed of AGFCC'C" and BED strands, respectively. Members of the IgV family 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.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of human cartilage link protein (LP), and similar domains; The members here are composed of the immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain similar to that found in human cartilage link protein (LP; also called hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein). In cartilage, chondroitin-keratan sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG), aggrecan, forms cartilage link protein stabilized aggregates with hyaluronan (HA). These aggregates contribute to the tissue's load bearing properties. Aggregates having other CSPGs substituting for aggrecan may contribute to the structural integrity of many different tissues. Members of the vertebrate HPLN (hyaluronan/HA and proteoglycan binding link) protein family are physically linked adjacent to CSPG genes.
