“…2 A ); CD9 was chosen as a representative non-TspanC8 tetraspanin. These chimeras involved exchange of the entire LELs, or exchange of the so-called variable regions of the LEL that are relatively divergent in sequence, since these have been implicated in mediating interactions between other tetraspanins and their partners ( 27 ). These FLAG-tagged chimeric tetraspanins were then co-expressed with Myc-tagged human ADAM10 in HEK-293T cells.…”

“…Tetraspanins (TSPs) are a superfamily of plasma membrane-associated proteins consisting of four conserved transmembranes [ 58 ]. They have been used as vaccine candidates against schistosomiasis, echinococcosis and as diagnostic antigens for cysticercosis [ 2 , 20 , 59 , 60 ]; In addition, it was proven that tetraspanins in the tegument of schistosomula and adult worms can act as receptors for host ligands, including MHC molecules, allowing parasites to mask their non-self-status and escape host immune responses [ 61 ].…”

“…Kitadokoro et al reported the 3D structure of the large extracellular domain 2 (EC2) of CD81, and until recently, detailed structural analysis and molecular modelling have concentrated on this region [ 17 19 ]. These studies have shown that the EC2 can be delineated into two regions: a conserved domain consisting of three alpha helices, two of which form a ‘stalk’ adjoining TM3 and TM4, and a variable subdomain, forming part of the ‘head’ region.…”

“…Molecular modelling suggested that the first small extracellular loop (13–30 aa) is likely to be shaded by the mushroom-shaped EC2 (70–130 aa). The distinctive variable regions are predicted to be responsible for protein-specific interactions [ 19 21 ]. The EC2 contains 4–8 cysteines, including a conserved CCG ‘signature’ motif, which forms at least two disulphide bridges that stabilise the head region.…”
