| Description: | Cell surface-attached carbohydrate-binding domain, present in eukaryotes and assumed to have horizontally transferred to eubacterial genomes. |
| Interpro abstract (IPR000421): | Blood coagulation factors V and VIII contain a C-terminal, twice repeated, domain of about 150 amino acids, which is called F5/8 type C, FA58C, or C1/C2- like domain. In the Dictyostelium discoideum (Slime mold) cell adhesion protein discoidin, a related domain, named discoidin I-like domain, DLD, or DS, has been found which shares a common C-terminal region of about 110 amino acids with the FA58C domain, but whose N-terminal 40 amino acids are much less conserved. Similar domains have been detected in other extracellular and membrane proteins (PUBMED:3092220), (PUBMED:8390675), (PUBMED:8639264) In coagulation factors V and VIII the repeated domains compose part of a larger functional domain which promotes binding to anionic phospholipids on the surface of platelets and endothelial cells (PUBMED:3125864). The C-terminal domain of the second FA58C repeat (C2) of coagulation factor VIII has been shown to be responsible for phosphatidylserine-binding and essential for activity (PUBMED:2110840), (PUBMED:7515064). It forms an amphipathic alpha-helix, which binds to the membrane (PUBMED:7893714). FA58C contains two conserved cysteines in most proteins, which link the extremities of the domain by a disulphide bond (PUBMED:8504111), (PUBMED:7613471), (PUBMED:8856064). A further disulphide bond is located near the C-terminal of the second FA58C domain in MFGM Q08431 (PUBMED:8856064).
