The C-type carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) superfamily
1Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, U.K.
Abstract:
The proteins of the CRD superfamily can be subdivided into six main groups, where members of a group have similar functions, molecular architecture and amino acid sequences. The determination of the tertiary structure of the CRD from MBP-A has defined the consensus structure for this module and can be considered a paradigm for the superfamily in general. The elegant work of Drickamer and colleagues has established the basic requirements for carbohydrate binding at both the tertiary and primary structure level, where the specificity of members of the CRD superfamily appears to correlate with specific sequence elements.

G Protein-coupled Receptors
GPCRs are also called heptahelical, 7TM, or serpentine receptors, and consist of seven (H1-H7) transmembrane alpha-helices that span the bilayer to form a cylindrical core. The transmembrane helices are connected by three extracellular loops and three...

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
