Abstract

Leeches, such as the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis, produce a variety of antihaemostatic proteins that act as proteinase inhibitors. These inhibitors are used to aid the leech in feeding upon its host by blocking blood coagulation [PubMed11563948, PubMed11257492]. Examples of these proteins include hirustasin (inhibitor of tissue kallikrein, trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and granulocyte cathepsin G) [PubMed10368273], bdellastasin (inhibitor of trypsin, plasmin, and acrosin) [PubMed10512718], factor Xa inhibitor antistasin (inhibitor of blood coagulation factor Xa) [PubMed9311976], hirudin (thrombin inhibitor), decorsin (inhibitor of platelet aggregation) [PubMed8607116] and haemadin (thrombin inhibitor) [PubMed11851400].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 10 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Leech antihemostatic proteins domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 10 hidden Markov models representing the Leech antihemostatic proteins superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
