Protein Domain
Type: Domain
Description: This entry represents the laminin-type EGF-like domain (LE) found in Laminin subunit gamma-1 and Netrin-1 from Homo sapiens and Mus musculus. Laminins are the major noncollagenous components of basement membranes that mediate cell adhesion, growth migration, and differentiation [, ]. They are composed of distinct but related alpha, beta and gamma chains that form a cross-shaped molecule consisting of a long arm and three short globular arms. The long arm has a coiled coil structure contributed by all three chains and cross-linked by interchain disulphide bonds [, ]. Beside the different types of globular domains each subunit contains, in its first half, consecutive repeats of about 60 amino acids in length that include eight conserved cysteines []. The tertiary structure of this domain is remotely similar in its N-terminal to that of the EGF-like module [, ](see ). The number of copies of the LE domain in the different forms of laminins is highly variable; from 3 up to 22 copies have been found.A schematic representation of the topology of the four disulphide bonds in the LE domain is shown below.+-------------------++-|-----------+ | +--------+ +-----------------+| | | | | | | |xxCxCxxxxxxxxxxxCxxxxxxxCxxCxxxxxGxxCxxCxxgaagxxxxxxxxxxxCxxsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss'C': conserved cysteine involved in a disulphide bond'a': conserved aromatic residue'G': conserved glycine (lower case = less conserved)'s': region similar to the EGF-like domainLong consecutive arrays of LE domains in laminins form rod-like elements of limited flexibility [], which determine the spacing in the formation of laminin networks of basement membranes [].Netrins control guidance of the central nervous system commissural axons and peripheral motor axons [, , , ]. This protein also serves as a survival factor via its association with its receptors which prevent the initiation of apoptosis, thus being involved in tumorigenesis [, ].

Description: Haemagglutinin (HA) is one of two main surface fusion glycoproteins embedded in the envelope of influenza viruses, the other being neuraminidase (NA). There are sixteen known HA subtypes (H1-H16) and nine NA subtypes (N1-N9), which together are used to classify influenza viruses (e.g. H5N1). The antigenic variations in HA and NA enable the virus to evade host antibodies made to previous influenza strains, accounting for recurrent influenza epidemics []. The HA glycoprotein is present in the viral membrane as a single polypeptide (HA0), which must be cleaved by the host's trypsin-like proteases to produce two peptides (HA1 and HA2) in order for the virus to be infectious. Once HA0 is cleaved, the newly exposed N-terminal of the HA2 peptide then acts to fuse the viral envelope to the cellular membrane of the host cell, which allows the viral negative-stranded RNA to infect the host cell. The type of host protease can influence the infectivity and pathogenicity of the virus.The haemagglutinin glycoprotein is a trimer containing three structurally distinct regions: a globular head consisting of anti-parallel β-sheets that form a β-sandwich with a jelly-roll fold (contains the receptor binding site and the HA1/HA2 cleavage site); a triple-stranded, coiled-coil, α-helical stalk; and a globular foot composed of anti-parallel β-sheets [, ]. Each monomer consists of an intact HA0 polypeptide with the HA1 and HA2 regions linked by disulphide bonds. The N terminus of HA1 provides the central strand in the 5-stranded globular foot, while the rest of the HA1 chain makes its way to the 8-stranded globular head. HA2 provides two alpha helices, which form part of the triple-stranded coiled-coil that stabilises the trimer, its C terminus providing the remaining strands of the 5-stranded globular foot.This entry represents the stalk segment of haemagglutinin in influenza C virus. It forms a coiled coil structure [].

Description: Many microorganisms, such as methanogenic, acetogenic, nitrogen-fixing, photosynthetic, or sulphate-reducing bacteria, metabolise hydrogen. Hydrogen activation is mediated by a family of enzymes, termed hydrogenases, which either provide these organisms with reducing power from hydrogen oxidation, or act as electron sinks. There are two hydrogenases families that differ functionally from each other: NiFe hydrogenases tend to be more involved in hydrogen oxidation, while Iron-only FeFe (Fe only) hydrogenases in hydrogen production. Fe only hydrogenases () show a common core structure, which contains a moiety, deeply buried inside the protein, with an Fe-Fe dinuclear centre, nonproteic bridging, terminal CO and CN- ligands attached to each of the iron atoms, and a dithio moiety, which also bridges the two iron atoms and has been tentatively assigned as a di(thiomethyl)amine. This common core also harbours three [4Fe-4S]iron-sulphur clusters []. In FeFe hydrogenases, as in NiFe hydrogenases, the set of iron-sulphur clusters is dispersed regularly between the dinuclear Fe-Fe centre and the molecular surface. These clusters are distant by about 1.2 nm from each other but the [4Fe-4S]cluster closest to the dinuclear centre is covalently bound to one of the iron atoms though a thiolate bridging ligand. The moiety including the dinuclear centre, the thiolate bridging ligand, and the proximal [4Fe-4S]cluster is known as the H-cluster. A channel, lined with hydrophobic amino acid side chains, nearly connects the dinuclear centre and the molecular surface. Furthermore hydrogen-bonded water molecule sites have been identified at the interior and at the surface of the protein.The small subunit is comprised of alternating random coil and alpha helical structures that encompass the large subunit in a novel protein fold [].The localisation of iron hydrogenases can be cytoplasmic or periplasmic. Periplasmic iron hydrogenases in Desulfovibrio consists of a large subunit (HydA) and a small subunit (HydB) [].

Description: This family is specific for E proteins from alphacoronaviruses.E protein is the smallest of the major structural proteins. It is conserved among Coronavirus strains. It is an integral membrane protein involved in several aspects of the virus' life cycle, such as assembly, budding, envelope formation, and pathogenesis []. During the replication cycle, E is abundantly expressed inside the infected cell, but only a small portion is incorporated into the virus envelope. The majority of the protein participates in viral assembly and budding [, ]. It can act as a viroporin by oligomerizing after insertion in host membranes to create a hydrophilic pore that allows ion transport [, ]. Additionally, the E protein is thought to prevent M protein aggregation and induce membrane curvature [].SARS-CoV E protein forms a Ca2+ permeable channel in the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus intermediate compartment (ERGIC)/Golgi membranes. The E protein ion channel activity alters Ca2+ homeostasis within cells boosting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which leads to the overproduction of IL-1beta. SARS-CoV overstimulates the NF-kappaB inflammatory pathway and interacts with the cellular protein syntenin, triggering p38 MARK activation. These signalling cascades result in exacerbated inflammation and immunopathology [].Cov E proteins have a short hydrophilic N terminus, followed by a large hydrophobic transmembrane (TM) domain, and end with a long, hydrophilic C terminus, which comprises the majority of the protein. The hydrophobic region of the TM domain contains at least one predicted amphipathic α-helix that pentamerizes to form an ion-conductive pore in membranes. CoV E proteins have been proposed to have at least two roles. One is related to their TM channel domain. This would be active in the secretory pathway, altering lumenal environments and rearranging secretory organelles and leading to efficient trafficking of virions. The other would be related to their extramembranedomains, particularly the C-terminal domain. This is involved in protein-protein interactions and targeting, among other roles [, , , ]. In the CoV E protein structure a longer α-helix encompasses the TM domain, which is connected to another shorter C-terminal α-helix by a flexible linker domain, forming an L-shape [Li]. The CoV E pentamer is a right handed α-helical bundle where the C-terminal tails coil around each other [].

Additionally, the E protein is thought to prevent M protein aggregation and induce membrane curvature [].SARS-CoV E protein forms a Ca2+ permeable channel in the endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus intermediate compartment (ERGIC)/Golgi membranes. The E protein ion channel activity alters Ca2+ homeostasis within cells boosting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which leads to the overproduction of IL-1beta. SARS-CoV overstimulates the NF-kappaB inflammatory pathway and interacts with the cellular protein syntenin, triggering p38 MARK activation. These signalling cascades result in exacerbated inflammation and immunopathology [].Cov E proteins have a short hydrophilic N terminus, followed by a large hydrophobic transmembrane (TM) domain, and end with a long, hydrophilic C terminus, which comprises the majority of the protein. The hydrophobic region of the TM domain contains at least one predicted amphipathic α-helix that pentamerizes to form an ion-conductive pore in membranes. CoV E proteins have been proposed to have at least two roles. One is related to their TM channel domain. This would be active in the secretory pathway, altering lumenal environments and rearranging secretory organelles and leading to efficient trafficking of virions. The other would be related to their extramembrane domains, particularly the C-terminal domain. This is involved in protein-protein interactions and targeting, among other roles [, , , ]. In the CoV E protein structure a longer α-helix encompasses the TM domain, which is connected to another shorter C-terminal α-helix by a flexible linker domain, forming an L-shape [Li]. The CoV E pentamer is a right handed α-helical bundle where the C-terminal tails coil around each other [].
