One of these, called ORF7a or ORF8, code for a protein, known as 7a, U122 or X4. We set out to determine the three-dimensional structure of the soluble ectodomain of this type-I transmembrane protein by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fold of the protein is the first member of a further variation of the immunoglobulin like beta-sandwich fold. Because X4 does not reveal significant sequence homologies to proteins in the data bases, we carried out a structure based similarity search for proteins with known function. High structural similarity to Dl domains of ICAM-1 and ICAM-2, and common features in amino acid sequence between X4 and ICAM-1, suggest X4 to possess binding activity for the alpha(L) integrin I domain of LFA-1. Further, based on this structure based prediction, potential functions of X4 in virus replication and pathogenesis are discussed.}, keywords = {Amino Acid Sequence / Antigens, CD: chemistry / Cell Adhesion Molecules: chemistry / Cloning, Molecular / Humans / Immunoglobulins: chemistry / Integrins: chemistry / Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1: chemistry / Interleukin-1: chemistry / Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1: chemistry / Models, Molecular / Molecular Sequence Data / Open Reading Frames / Protein Structure, Secondary / Protein Structure, Tertiary / SARS Virus: chemistry / Viral Matrix Proteins: chemistry / Viral Proteins: chemistry / Antigens, CD (NLM Chemicals) / Cell Adhesion Molecules (NLM Chemicals) / Immunoglobulins (NLM Chemicals) / Integrins (NLM Chemicals) / Interleukin-1 (NLM Chemicals) / Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1 (NLM Chemicals) / Viral Matrix Proteins (NLM Chemicals) / Viral Proteins (NLM Chemicals) / sars7a protein, SARS virus (NLM Chemicals) / Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (NLM Chemicals) / ICAM2 protein, human (NLM Chemicals) / J (WoSType)}, cin = {IBI-2}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)VDB58}, pnm = {Funktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK409}, shelfmark = {Medicine, Research $\&$ Experimental}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:16328780}, UT = {WOS:000237502100001}, doi = {10.1007/s11373-005-9043-9}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/55020}, }
