CAUTION: This alignment is very weak. It can not be generated by clustalw. If a representative set is used for a seed, many so-called members are not recognised. The family should probably be split up into sub-families. Capsid proteins of picornaviruses. Picornaviruses are non-enveloped plus-strand ssRNA animal viruses with icosahedral capsids. They include rhinovirus (common cold) and poliovirus. Common structure is an 8-stranded beta sandwich. Variations (one or two extra strands) occur.

ICAMs promote intercellular adhesion and are important in inflammation, immune responses and in intracellular signalling events [1-5]. They belong to the Ig-like superfamily and differ in their cell expression patterns and numbers of Ig-like domains (ICAM-2 and ICAM-4 have two, ICAM-1 and ICAM-3 have five and ICAM-5 has nine [5]). Domain 2 (D2), represented in this entry, is most similar between ICAM-1, 3 and 5 [5].
ICAMs normally functions to promote intercellular adhesion and signalling. However, The N-terminal domain of the receptor binds to the rhinovirus 'canyon' surrounding the icosahedral 5-fold axes, during the viral attachment process [1]. This famil ...
ICAMs normally functions to promote intercellular adhesion and signalling. However, The N-terminal domain of the receptor binds to the rhinovirus 'canyon' surrounding the icosahedral 5-fold axes, during the viral attachment process [1]. This family is a family that is part of the Ig superfamily and is therefore related to the family ig (Pfam:PF00047).
