C3a, C4a and C5a anaphylatoxins are protein fragments generated enzymatically in serum during activation of complement molecules C3, C4, and C5. They induce smooth muscle contraction. These fragments are homologous to a three-fold repeat in fibulins. ...

Sequence similarity between netrin UNC-6 and C345C complement protein family members, and hence the existence of the UNC-6 module, was first reported in [1]. Subsequently, many additional members of the family were identified on the basis of sequence similarity between the C-terminal domains of netrins, complement proteins C3, C4, C5, secreted frizzled-related proteins, and type I pro-collagen C-proteinase enhancer proteins (PCOLCEs), which are homologous with the N-terminal domains of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The TIMPs are classified as a separate family in Pfam (Pfam:PF00965) [2]. This expanded domain family has been named as the NTR module [2].
Complement component 5 (C5) is a component of the lytic complex consisting of factors C5-C9 which attack bacterial cell membranes. This entry represents the CUB domain [1-5].
This is the MG2 (macroglobulin) domain of alpha-2-macroglobulin in eukaryotes [1]. Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. How ...
This is the MG2 (macroglobulin) domain of alpha-2-macroglobulin in eukaryotes [1]. Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. This domain is found in eukaryotic and bacterial proteins. In human A2Ms, this domain is termed macroglobulin-like (MG) domain 2 and in Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms, this is domain 4 [2] [3].

Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. This domain is found in eukaryotic and bacterial proteins. In human A2Ms, this domain encompasses macroglobulin-like domain MG5 and 6 including bait region. In Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms, this domain encompasses MG7 and MG8 including the bait region [1] [2]. The Bait region is cleaved by proteases, followed by a large conformational change that blocks the target protease within a cage-like complex. This model of protease entrapment is recognised as the Venus flytrap mechanism [1].
