This is the MG2 (macroglobulin) domain of alpha-2-macroglobulin in eukaryotes [1]. Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. This domain is found in eukaryotic and bacterial proteins. In human A2Ms, this domain is termed macroglobulin-like (MG) domain 2 and in Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms, this is domain 4 [2] [3].

Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. Bacterial A2Ms are located in the periplasm where they are believed to provide protection to the cell by trapping external proteases through a covalent interaction with an activated thioester. This domain is found on the N-terminal region in A2Ms in bacteria. Structure analysis of Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms (SA-A2Ms) show that they are composed of 13 domains, all of which fold as variants of beta sandwiches with the exception of the TED, which consists of 14 alpha helices. Most of the beta sandwich domains appear to serve a structural role and are referred to as the macroglobulin-like (MG) domains. This is the MG1 domain which is the farthest from the body of the structure. It is normally anchored to the inner membrane in vivo and connected to MG2 by a flexible linker [1].

Bacterial alpha-2 macroglobulin (A2M) are located in the periplasm and may protect the cell by trapping external proteases through a covalent interaction with an activated thioester [1,2]. Macroglobulin (MG) beta sandwich domains appear to play a structural role. This entry represents bacterial MG2 (bMG2) domain which, with MG1, plays the role of a linker associating the main body of A2M to the bilayer [1-3].

However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. Bacterial A2Ms are located in the periplasm where they are believed to provide protection to the cell by trapping external proteases through a covalent interaction with an activated thioester. This domain is found on the C-terminal region in A2Ms in bacteria. Structure analysis of Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms (SA-A2Ms) show that they are composed of 13 domains, all of which fold as variants of beta sandwiches with the exception of the TED, which consists of 14 alpha helices. Most of the beta sandwich domains appear to serve a structural role and are referred to as the macroglobulin-like (MG) domains. This is the MG10 domain. MG10 is markedly different from the other MG domains in that it has more beta strands and an alpha helix. The position of MG10 is stabilized by, in addition to other hydrogen bonds, the formation of a beta sheet with MG9 [1].

This domain is found in a group of proteins predominantly found in proteobacteria, including Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2MG) from Salmonella typhimurium, a protein that protects the bacterial cell from host peptidases. A2MG is composed of 13 domains, 12 of them folding as beta sandwiches. This entry represents the CUB (complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1) domain, which is connected to the TED domain (Pfam:PF07678).

Alpha-2-macroglobulins (A2Ms) are plasma proteins that trap and inhibit a broad range of proteases and are major components of the eukaryotic innate immune system. However, A2M-like proteins were identified in pathogenically invasive bacteria and species that colonize higher eukaryotes. This domain is found in eukaryotic and bacterial proteins. In human A2Ms, this domain encompasses macroglobulin-like domain MG5 and 6 including bait region. In Salmonella enterica ser A2Ms, this domain encompasses MG7 and MG8 including the bait region [1] [2]. The Bait region is cleaved by proteases, followed by a large conformational change that blocks the target protease within a cage-like complex. This model of protease entrapment is recognised as the Venus flytrap mechanism [1].
