Functional narrative    

Seems to be involved in epithelial-mesenchymal signaling during morphogenesis of ectodermal organs. Isoform 1 binds only to the receptor EDAR, while isoform 3 binds exclusively to the receptor XEDAR. Isoform 3 differs from the canonical form (Isoform 1) in that it is missing aa 307-308. Two cleavage products exist: cleavage product 1 is Ectodysplasin-A, membrane form (aa 1-391) and cleavage product 2 is Ectodysplasin-A, secreted form (aa 160-391). At least eight isoforms are also known to exist. (UniProt)

Comments:
Isoform 3 is missing aa E308 and V309 found in Isoform 1. For Isoform 3, at the C-terminal end of {beta}strand C, aa Y308 and Y309 form the receptor specificity switch, followed by a {beta}bulge formed by I310 and N311. An extended loop at aa 312-315 leads to {beta}strand D. This extended loop compensates for the missing residues by being shorter than Isoform 1. Due to the alt splicing, the receptor specificity switch in Isoform 3 has a different nature than Isoform 1 and consequently is specific for a different receptor--XEDAR. (Hymovitz et al., 2003)

Comments


UniProt lists the missing aa for Isoform 3 as V307 and E308. Hymowitz et al (2003) discuss missing aa E308 and V309. In either case, the resulting stretch from 307 to 310 reads, VYYI.



Hymowitz et al (2003) performed their crystallography on the TNF domain fragment of EDA-A1 comprised of aa 233-391, and on the similar fragment for EDA-A2 of aa 233-289. the authors use Isoform 1 aa numbering for both isoforms. The DP records number each sequence individually.
