ligand-binding domain of type C natriuretic peptide receptor; Ligand-binding domain of type C natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR-C). NPR-C is found in atrial, mesentery, placenta, lung, kidney, venous tissue, aortic smooth muscle, and aortic endothelial cells. The affinity of NPR-C for natriuretic peptides is ANP>CNP>BNP. The extracellular domain of NPR-C is about 30% identical to NPR-A and NPR-B. However, unlike the cyclase-linked receptors, it contains only 37 intracellular amino acids and no guanylyl cyclase activity. Major function of NPR-C is to clear natriuretic peptides from the circulation or extracellular surroundings through constitutive receptor-mediated internalization and degradation.

Transmembrane domain of Ephrin Receptor A1 Protein Tyrosine Kinase; Ephrin receptors (EphRs) comprise the largest subfamily of receptor PTKs, and are classified into two classes (EphA and EphB), corresponding to binding preferences for either GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands or transmembrane ephrin-B ligands. Vertebrates have ten EphA and six EphB receptors, which display promiscuous ligand interactions within each class. EphA1 has been associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers such as colorectal and gastric carcinomas. EphRs contain an ephrin binding domain and two fibronectin repeats extracellularly, a single-span transmembrane (TM) domain, and a cytoplasmic tyr kinase domain. Binding of the ephrin ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact since both are anchored to the plasma membrane. This allows ephrin/EphR dimers to form, leading to the activation of the intracellular tyr kinase domain. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). The main effect of ephrin/EphR interaction is cell-cell repulsion or adhesion. Ephrin/EphR signaling is important in neural development and plasticity, cell morphogenesis and proliferation, cell-fate determination, embryonic development, tissue patterning, and angiogenesis. The TM domain mediates dimerization.

Ligand binding domain of natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) family; Ligand binding domain of natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) family which consists of three different subtypes: type A natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR-A, or GC-A), type B natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR-B, or GC-B), and type C natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR-C). There are three types of natriuretic peptide (NP) ligands specific to the receptors: atrial NP (ANP), brain or B-type NP (BNP), and C-type NP (CNP). The NP family is thought to have arisen through gene duplication during evolution and plays an essential role in cardiovascular and body fluid homeostasis. ANP and BNP bind mainly to NPR-A, while CNP binds specifically to NPR-B. Both NPR-A and NPR-B have guanylyl cyclase catalytic activity and produces intracellular secondary messenger cGMP in response to peptide-ligand binding. Consequently, the NPR-A activation results in vasodilation and inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. NPR-C acts as the receptor for all the three members of NP family, and functions as a clearance receptor. Unlike NPR-A and -B, NPR-C lacks an intracellular guanylyl cyclase domain and is thought to exert biological actions by sequestration of released natriuretic peptides and/or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase.

ligand-binding domain of membrane guanylyl-cyclase receptors; Ligand-binding domain of membrane guanylyl-cyclase receptors. Membrane guanylyl cyclases (GC) have a single membrane-spanning region and are activated by endogenous and exogenous peptides. This family can be divided into three major subfamilies: the natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs), sensory organ-specific membrane GCs, and the enterotoxin/guanylin receptors. The binding of peptide ligands to the receptor results in the activation of the cytosolic catalytic domain. Three types of NPRs have been cloned from mammalian tissues: NPR-A/GC-A, NPR-B/ GC-B, and NPR-C. In addition, two of the GCs, GC-D and GC-G, appear to be pseudogenes in humans. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are produced in the heart, and both bind to the NPR-A. NPR-C, also termed the clearance receptor, binds each of the natriuretic peptides and can alter circulating levels of these peptides. The ligand binding domain of the NPRs exhibits strong structural similarity to the type 1 periplasmic binding fold protein family.

The family C GPCRs consists of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR), a calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAbR), the promiscuous L-alpha-amino acid receptor GPR6A, families of taste and pheromone receptors, and orphan receptors. Truncated splicing variants of the orphan receptors are not included in this CD. The family C GPCRs are activated by endogenous agonists such as amino acids, ions, and sugar based molecules. Their amino terminal ligand-binding region is homologous to the bacterial leucine-isoleucine-valine binding protein (LIVBP) and a leucine binding protein (LBP). The ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) have an integral ion channel and are subdivided into three major groups based on their pharmacology and structural similarities: NMDA receptors, AMPA receptors, and kainate receptors. The family of membrane bound guanylyl cyclases is further divided into three subfamilies: the ANP receptor (GC-A)/C-type natriuretic peptide receptor (GC-B), the heat-stable enterotoxin receptor (GC-C)/sensory organ specific membrane GCs such as retinal receptors (GC-E, GC-F), and olfactory receptors (GC-D and GC-G).

Natriuretic peptides are family of structurally related but genetically distinct hormones/paracrine factors that regulate blood volume, blood pressure, ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, fat metabolism, and long bone growth. In mammals there are three natriuretic peptides: ANP, BNP, and CNP. Like NPR-A (or GC-A), NPR-B (or GC-B) is a transmembrane guanylyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of cGMP. NPR-B is the predominant natriuretic peptide receptor in the brain. The rank of order activation of NPR-B by natriuretic peptides is CNP>>ANP>BNP. Homozygous inactivating mutations in human NPR-B cause a form of short-limbed dwarfism known as acromesomelic dysplasia type Maroteaux.

GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS and, like glutamate and other transmitters, acts via both ligand gated ion channels (GABAa receptors) and G-protein coupled receptors (GABAb receptor or GABAbR). GABAa receptors are members of the ionotropic receptor superfamily which includes alpha-adrenergic and glycine receptors. The GABAb receptor is a member of a receptor superfamily which includes the mGlu receptors. The GABAb receptor is coupled to G alpha-i proteins, and activation causes a decrease in calcium, an increase in potassium membrane conductance, and inhibition of cAMP formation. The response is thus inhibitory and leads to hyperpolarization and decreased neurotransmitter release, for example.

They share a similar topology with an N-terminal extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal cytosolic region that contains kinase-like and catalytic domains. GC-D is specifically expressed in a subpopulation of olfactory sensory neurons. GC-E and GC-F are colocalized within the same photoreceptor cells of the retina and have important roles in phototransduction. Unlike the other family members, GC-E and GC-F have no known extracellular ligands. Instead, they are activated under low calcium conditions by guanylyl cyclase activating proteins called GCAPs. GC-D expressing neurons have been implicated in pheromone detection and GC-D is phylogenetically more similar to the Ca2+-regulated GC-E and GC-F than to receptor GC-A, -B and -C which are activated by peptide ligands. Moreover, these olfactory GCs and retinal GCs share characteristic sequence similarity in a regulatory domain that is involved in the binding of GCAPs, suggesting GC-D activity may be regulated by an unknown extracellular ligand and intracellular Ca2+. Rodent GC-D-expressing neurons have been implicated in pheromone detection and were recently shown to respond to atmospheric CO2 which is an olfactory stimulus for many invertebrates and regulates some insect innate behavior, such as the location of food and hosts.

The catalytic domain of the STa/guanylin receptor type membrane GC is highly similar to those of the natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR) type and sensory organ-specific type membrane GCs (GC-D, GC-E and GC-F). The GC-C receptor is mainly expressed in the intestine of most vertebrates, but is also found in the kidney and other organs. Moreover, GC-C is activated by guanylin and uroguanylin, endogenous peptide ligands synthesized in the intestine and kidney. Consequently, the receptor activation results in increased cGMP levels and phosphorylation of the CFTR chloride channel and secretion.

The family C GPCR includes glutamate/glycine-gated ion channels such as the NMDA receptor, G-protein-coupled receptors, metabotropic glutamate, GABA-B, calcium sensing, pheromone receptors, and atrial natriuretic peptide-guanylate cyclase receptors. The glutamate receptors that form cation-selective ion channels, iGluR, can be classified into three different subgroups according to their binding-affinity for the agonists NMDA (N-methyl-D-asparate), AMPA (alpha-amino-3-dihydro-5-methyl-3-oxo-4-isoxazolepropionic acid), and kainate. L-glutamate is a major neurotransmitter in the brain of vertebrates and acts through either mGluRs or iGluRs. mGluRs subunits possess seven transmembrane segments and a large N-terminal extracellular domain. ABC-type leucine-isoleucine-valine binding protein (LIVBP) is a bacterial periplasmic binding protein that has homology with the amino-terminal domain of the glutamate-receptor ion channels (iGluRs). The extracellular regions of iGluRs are made of two PBP-like domains in tandem, a LIVBP-like domain that constitutes the N terminus (included in this model) followed by a domain related to lysine-arginine-ornithine-binding protein (LAOBP) that belongs to the type 2 periplasmic binding fold protein superfamily. The uncharacterized periplasmic components of various ABC-type transport systems are also included in this family.

The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) are key receptors in the modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. The mGluRs are coupled to G proteins and are thus distinct from the iGluRs which internally contain ligand-gated ion channels. The mGluR structure is divided into three regions: the extracellular region, the seven-spanning transmembrane region and the cytoplasmic region. The extracellular region is further divided into the ligand-binding domain (LBD) and the cysteine-rich domain. The LBD has sequence similarity to the LIVBP, which is a bacterial periplasmic protein (PBP), as well as to the extracellular region of both iGluR and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)b receptor. iGluRs are divided into three main subtypes based on pharmacological profile: NMDA, AMPA, and kainate receptors. All family C GPCRs have a large extracellular N terminus that contain a domain with homology to bacterial periplasmic amino acid-binding proteins.

Vertebrates have ten EphA and six EphB receptors, which display promiscuous ligand interactions within each class.

While this N-terminal domain belongs to the periplasmic-binding fold type 1 superfamily, the glutamate-binding domain of the iGluR is structurally homologous to the periplasmic-binding fold type 2. The LIVBP-like domain of iGluRs is thought to play a role in the initial assembly of iGluR subunits, but it is not well understood how this domain is arranged and functions in intact iGluR. Kainate receptors have five subunits, GluR5, GluR6, GluR7, KA1 and KA2, which are structurally similar to AMPA and NMDA subunits of ionotropic glutamate receptors. KA1 and KA2 subunits can only form functional receptors with one of the GluR5-7 subunits. Moreover, GluR5-7 can also form functional homomeric receptor channels activated by kainate and glutamate when expressed in heterologous systems. Kainate receptors are involved in excitatory neurotransmission by activating postsynaptic receptors and in inhibitory neurotransmission by modulating release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA through a presynaptic mechanism. Kainate receptors are closely related to AMAP receptors. In contrast of AMPA receptors, kainate receptors play only a minor role in signaling at synapses and their function is not well defined.

(labeled illustration) Full Display shows all domain models, in each hit category below, that meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance.
(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
the domain superfamily to which the specific and non-specific hits belong
multi-domain models that were computationally detected and are likely to contain multiple single domains
Retrieve proteins that contain one or more of the domains present in the query sequence, using the Conserved Domain Architecture Retrieval Tool
(CDART).
Modify your query to search against a different database and/or use advanced search options
