Immunoglobulin three-dimensional

Most of the known antiparallel p structures, including the immunoglobulins and a number of different enzymes, have barrels that comprise at least one Greek key motif. An example is 7 crystallin, which has two consecutive Greek key motifs in each of two barrel domains. These four motifs are homologous in terms of both their three-dimensional structure and amino acid sequence and are thus evolutionarily related. [Pg.86]

All immunoglobulin domains have similar three-dimensional structures... [Pg.303]

IgG antibody molecules are composed of two light chains and two heavy chains joined together by disulfide bonds. Each light chain has one variable domain and one constant domain, while each heavy chain has one variable and three constant domains. All of the domains have a similar three-dimensional structure known as the immunoglobulin fold. The Fc stem of the molecule is formed by constant domains from each of the heavy chains, while two Fab arms are formed by constant and variable domains from both heavy and light chains. The hinge region between the stem and the arms is flexible and allows the arms to move relative to each other and to the stem. [Pg.320]

Homologous proteins have similar three-dimensional structures. They contain a core region, a scaffold of secondary structure elements, where the folds of the polypeptide chains are very similar. Loop regions that connect the building blocks of the scaffolds can vary considerably both in length and in structure. From a database of known immunoglobulin structures it has, nevertheless, been possible to predict successfully the conformation of hyper-variable loop regions of antibodies of known amino acid sequence. [Pg.370]

A beta barrel is a three-dimensional protein fold motif in which beta strands connected by loops form a barrellike structure. For example, this fold motif is found in many proteins of the immunoglobulin family and of the chymotrypsin family of serine proteases. [Pg.249]

A. Immunoglobulin-like Three-Dimensional Structure of PapD. 104... [Pg.99]

The three-dimensional structure of the PapD periplasmic chaperone that forms transient complexes with pilus subunit proteins has been solved by Holmgren and Branden (1989). PapD consists of two globular domains oriented in the shape of a boomerang (Fig. 2). Each domain is a /3-barrel structure formed by two antiparallel /8-pleated sheets that have a topology similar to an immunoglobulin fold. The relationship between PapD and other immunoglobulin-like proteins is discussed in Section IV,C. [Pg.104]
