The toxin-agglutinin fold. A new group of small protein structures organized around a four-disulfide core.
Open accessAbstract
The three-dimensional structures of the snake venom postsynaptic neurotoxins and of the domains in wheat germ agglutinin show a remarkably similar overall folding pattern, consisting of equivalently placed, but variably sized loops which are held together by four similarly positioned disulfide bonds. Furthermore, occurrence of this wheat germ agglutinin-neurotoxin domain fold is predicted not only in the snake venom cardiotoxins and cytotoxins with neurotoxin-matched half-cystine sequence positions, but also for two small plant proteins, hevein and ragweed pollen allergen Ra5, on the basis of a nearly exact match of their half-cystine, sequence positions with those of the wheat germ agglutinin domain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
