This entry consists of mammal and viral interferon gamma receptor proteins. Molecular interactions among cytokines and cytokine receptors in eukaryotes form the basis of many cell-signalling pathways relevant to immune function. Human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) signals through a multimeric receptor complex consisting of two different but structurally related transmembrane chains: the high-affinity receptor-binding subunit (IFN-gammaRalpha) and a species specific accessory factor (AF-1 or IFN-gammaRbeta) [1]. The vaccinia viral interferon gamma receptor has been shown to be secreted from infected cells during early infection [2]. The structure has been halved such that the N-terminus of this family is now represented by Tissue_fac Pfam:PF01108 (which represents the D1 domain), and this domain represents the D2 domain [1,3], both of which adopt an Ig-like fold. This domain is mediates receptor-receptor contacts [3].
This domain is found at the N-terminal end of Interferon-gamma receptor from Ectromelia virus (C4R) and simiral viral sequences. CR4 consists of two fibronectin type III domains (FBNIII) containing seven conserved beta-strands each: this entry and Pf ...
