| Abstract | This entry represents the FIP-Fve (Fungal Immunomodulatory Protein Fve) is a major fruiting body protein from Flammulina velutipes, a mushroom possessing immunomodulatory activity. It stimulates lymphocyte mitogenesis, suppresses systemic anaphylaxis reactions and oedema, enhances transcription of IL-2, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, and haemagglutinates red blood cells. It appears to be a lectin with specificity for complex cell-surface carbohydrates. Fve adopts a tertiary structure consisting of an immunoglobulin-like beta-sandwich, with seven strands arranged in two beta sheets, in a Greek-key topology. It forms a non-covalently linked homodimer containing no Cys, His or Met residues; dimerisation occurs by 3-D domain swapping of the N-terminal helices and is stabilised predominantly by hydrophobic interactions [ 12948495]. |

The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry
out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level. Click on the 'Genome Assignments'
icon above to view the genome assignments for this superfamily.
Alignments of sequences to Alignments of sequences to 1 models
in this superfamily are available by clicking on the superfamily level 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical
are shown by default, but any other sequences may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own.
It is possible to browse and view the proteins in the genomes which have
different combinations of domains including a Fungal immunomodulatory protein, FIP domain. Click on the 'Domain Combinations' icon.
To view the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom click on the 'TaxViz' icon above. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.
Undirected domain occurrence networks are available for all superfamilies. Nodes in these networks represent genomes. Connections between nodes represent the presence of domain architectures, which contain the superfamily of interest, in both genomes.
There are 1 hidden Markov models representing the Fungal immunomodulatory protein, FIP superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be viewed by clicking on the icon above.
