Interpro abstract (IPR013098): | The basic structure of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules is a tetramer of two light chains and two heavy chains linked by disulphide bonds. There are two types of light chains: kappa and lambda, each composed of a constant domain (CL) and a variable domain (VL). There are five types of heavy chains: alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma and mu, all consisting of a variable domain (VH) and three (in alpha, delta and gamma) or four (in epsilon and mu) constant domains (CH1 to CH4). Ig molecules are highly modular proteins, in which the variable and constant domains have clear, conserved sequence patterns. The domains in Ig and Ig-like molecules are grouped into four types: V-set (variable; IPR013106 ), C1-set (constant-1; IPR003597 ), C2-set (constant-2; IPR008424 ) and I-set (intermediate; IPR013098 ) [ (PUBMED:9417933) ]. Structural studies have shown that these domains share a common core Greek-key beta-sandwich structure, with the types differing in the number of strands in the beta-sheets as well as in their sequence patterns [ (PUBMED:15327963) (PUBMED:11377196) ]. Immunoglobulin-like domains that are related in both sequence and structure can be found in several diverse protein families. Ig-like domains are involved in a variety of functions, including cell-cell recognition, cell-surface receptors, muscle structure and the immune system [ (PUBMED:10698639) ]. This entry represents I-set domains, which are found in several cell adhesion molecules, including vascular (VCAM), intercellular (ICAM), neural (NCAM) and mucosal addressin (MADCAM) cell adhesion molecules, as well as junction adhesion molecules (JAM). I-set domains are also present in several other diverse protein families, including several tyrosine-protein kinase receptors, the hemolymph protein hemolin, the muscle proteins titin, telokin, and twitchin, the neuronal adhesion molecule axonin-1 [ (PUBMED:10830169) ], the signalling molecule semaphorin 4D that is involved in axonal guidance, immune function and angiogenesis [ (PUBMED:16369100) ] and the Zwei Ig domain proteins zig involved in the postembriogenic neuronal soma and axon position maintenance [ (PUBMED:11809975) (PUBMED:22829780) ]. |
