IPR003614

Description

IPR003614 is a Knottin, scorpion toxin-like.

<p>Knottins are small proteins characterised by a cystine-knot [[cite:PUB00077056]]. They constitute a large family of structurally related peptides with diverse biological functions, including inhibitors, anti-microbial peptides and toxins [[cite:PUB00077058]].</p> <p>The scorpion toxin-like domain is found in a subgroup of metazoan knottins mainly from the arthropoda, which include the antibacterial defensins [[cite:PUB00000384]] and the scorpion alpha and beta-neurotoxins [[cite:PUB00022373], [cite:PUB00095172]]. The plant sequences include members of the gamma-thionin family, which are plant defensins that have no antifungal activity. Other members are insect alpha-amylase inhibitors, cysteine-rich antifungal proteins and proteins annotated as proteinase inhibitors; those that are characterised belong to MEROPS inhibitor family I18, clan I.</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Biological process Defense response Reactions, triggered in response to the presence of a foreign body or the occurrence of an injury, which result in restriction of damage to the organism attacked or prevention/recovery from the infection caused by the attack.
