Complement C3 is major component in the both the classical and alternative complement activation pathways. C3 is cleaved into two chains (alpha and beta) by C3 convertases. This entry represents the second segment of the CUB domain, which is completed by Pfam:PF21406 [2]. The CUB domain is interrupted by the TE domain. The CUB, TE and MG8 domains form a massive, tightly packed super domain. This entry also includes venom factors, also known as Complement C3 homologues. These are complement-activating proteins with structural and functional similarities to complement component C3b, the activated form of C3 [6].
Integrins have been found in animals and their homologues have also been found in cyanobacteria, probably due to horizontal gene transfer [1]. This domain corresponds to the integrin beta VWA domain.
This domain is found in integrin alpha and integrin alpha precursors to the C terminus of a number of Pfam:PF01839 repeats and to the N-terminus of the Pfam:PF00357 cytoplasmic region. This region is composed of an immunoglobulin-like domain.
