This domain is found in homologues of SlpA protein from Lactobacillus acidophilus. This domain is involved in the self-assembly and dimerization of the S-layer. It adopts an alpha/beta structure consisting of a curved mixed beta-sheet and two alpha-helices packed on it. It has a partial structural similarity to the cadherin ectodomains comprising the curved beta-sheet and differs significantly in the central part that adopts an alpha-helical conformation instead of extended beta.
