This entry represents a domain found in legume-like lectin. Legume-type (L-type) lectins are a highly diverse family of carbohydrate binding proteins that generally display no enzymatic activity toward the sugars they bind. L-type lectins have a dome-shaped beta-barrel carbohydrate recognition domain with a curved seven-stranded beta-sheet referred to as the "front face" and a flat six-stranded beta-sheet referred to as the "back face". This domain homodimerises so that adjacent back sheets form a contiguous 12-stranded sheet and homotetramers occur by a back-to-back association of these homodimers. Though L-type lectins exhibit both sequence and structural similarity to one another, their carbohydrate binding specificities differ widely.
This short domain is about 50 amino acids in length. Its structure shows that it is composed of two beta sheets each of three strands. This domain is found associated with the Pfam:PF07501 domain and it has structural similarity with that domain alt ...
This short domain is about 50 amino acids in length. Its structure shows that it is composed of two beta sheets each of three strands. This domain is found associated with the Pfam:PF07501 domain and it has structural similarity with that domain although it is somewhat shorter [1]. The E domain forms part of a rod like structure.
This domain is found in a wide range of extracellular proteins. It is found tandemly repeated in up to 8 copies. It is found in the N-terminus of peptidases belonging to the M26 family which cleave human IgA. The domain is also found in proteins in ...
This domain is found in a wide range of extracellular proteins. It is found tandemly repeated in up to 8 copies. It is found in the N-terminus of peptidases belonging to the M26 family which cleave human IgA. The domain is also found in proteins involved in metabolism of bacterial cell walls suggesting this domain may have an adhesive function.
