Biochemical and structural characterization of the human gut microbiome metallopeptidase IgAse provides insight into its unique specificity for the Fab' region of IgA1 and IgA2. by Juan Sebastián Ramírez-Larrota, Pauline Juyoux, Pablo Guerra, Ulrich Eckhard, F Xavier Gomis-Rüth

“…The CD is flanked by an N-terminal globular C-type lectin-like domain and a wrapping domain (WD), followed by four all-β domains. Functional studies involving a comprehensive set of constructs (wild-type and mutant), authentic and recombinant IgA fragments, and inhibitors demonstrated that the minimal functional assembly requires the CD and WD, along with the Fab and hinge region (Fab'). …”
