NMR Structure of CARD d2 Domain
Structural highlights
FunctionCXAR_HUMAN Component of the epithelial apical junction complex that is essential for the tight junction integrity. Proposed to function as a homophilic cell adhesion molecule. Recruits MPDZ to intercellular contact sites. Probably involved in transepithelial migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) through adhesive interactions with AMICA1/JAML located in the plasma membrane of PMN.[1] [2] [3] [4] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) mediates entry of coxsackievirus and adenovirus. CAR possesses an extracellular region that is comprised of 2 immunoglobulin domains termed CAR-D1 and CAR-D2. In the present work, the solution structure of CAR-D2, consisting of residues 142-235 of human CAR, has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. CAR-D2 is shown to be a beta-sandwich motif comprised of two beta-sheets, which are stabilized by two disulfide bonds. The first beta-sheet is comprised of beta-strands A, B, and E, and the second beta-sheet is comprised of beta-strands C, F, and G. A relatively hydrophobic helix is found between beta-strands C and E, which replaces beta-strand D of the classical c-type immunoglobulin fold.
