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.

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.

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.

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.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of the L1 cell adhesion molecule (CAM), and similar domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of the L1 cell adhesion molecule (CAM). L1 belongs to the L1 subfamily of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and is comprised of an extracellular region having six Ig-like domains and five fibronectin type III domains, a transmembrane region and an intracellular domain. L1 is primarily expressed in the nervous system and is involved in its development and function. L1 is associated with an X-linked recessive disorder, X-linked hydrocephalus, MASA syndrome, and spastic paraplegia type 1, that involves abnormalities of axonal growth. This group also contains the chicken neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule, Ng-CAM and human neurofascin.

Third immunoglobulin domain of the hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R), and similar domains; member of the I-set of IgSF domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin domain of the hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) and similar proteins. CSF-1R, a class III receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKIII), is critical to the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytic cells such as monocytes, tissue macrophages, muscularis macrophages, microglia, osteoclasts, Paneth cells, and myeloid dendritic cells. Human colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (hCSF-1R) is unique among the hematopoietic receptors because it is activated by two distinct cytokines, CSF-1 and interleukin-34 (IL-34). The Ig superfamily (IgSF) 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, such as, T-cell receptors, CD2, CD4, CD8, and membrane glycoproteins, such as, butyrophilin and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein.

Third 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 third 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 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, 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, and 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 Slit2 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.

Third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain of peroxidasin; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain in peroxidasin. Peroxidasin has a peroxidase domain and interacting extracellular motifs containing four Ig-like domains. It has been suggested that peroxidasin is secreted and has functions related to the stabilization of the extracellular matrix. It may play a part in various other important processes such as removal and destruction of cells which have undergone programmed cell death and protection of the organism against non-self.

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain found in Perlecan and similar proteins; member of the I-set of Ig superfamily (IgSF) domains; The members here are composed of the third immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain found in Perlecan. Perlecan is a large multi-domain heparin sulfate proteoglycan, important in tissue development and organogenesis. Perlecan can be represented as 5 major portions; its fourth major portion (domain IV) is a tandem repeat of immunoglobulin-like domains (Ig2-Ig15) which can vary in size due to alternative splicing. Perlecan binds many cellular and extracellular ligands. Its domain IV region has many binding sites. Some of these have been mapped at the level of individual Ig-like domains, including a site restricted to the Ig5 domain for heparin/sulfatide, a site restricted to the Ig3 domain for nidogen-1 and nidogen-2, a site restricted to Ig4-5 for fibronectin, and sites restricted to Ig2 and to Ig13-15 for fibulin-2. 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.
