Group B SRCR domains are 100-110 amino acids long and are characterized by 6-8 cysteines, with conserved spacing. Disulfide bonds are formed between cysteines 1 and 4, 2 and 7, 3 and 8, and 5 and 6. Cysteines 2 and/or 7 are missing in some group B SRCR domains, resulting in the loss of one of the potential disulfide bonds. The crystal structure of the third SRCR domain of human CD5, which contains 8 cysteines, shows four disulfide bonds (Rodamilans, B. et. al. 2007 J. Biol Chem 282:12669-77 doi M611699200 [pii]10.1074/jbc.M611699200.) | Group B SRCR domains are 100-110 amino acids long and are characterized by 6-8 cysteines, with conserved spacing.

Group B SRCR domains bind to both protein and non-petidic ligands. In the latter class of ligands are molecules found on bacteria, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA), which suggests that group B SRCR proteins play a role in the host immune response to microorganisms. The group B SRCR domain family member WC1 appears to play an important role in the bovine response to the spirochaete Leptospira as a co-receptor whose tyrosine phosphorylation is required for optimal gamma delta T cell response (Wang, F. et al 2009 Eur. J. Immunol. 39:254-66). There are approximately 15 different WC1 genes in the bovine genome (Herzig,C.T. and C.L. Baldwin 2009 BMC Genomics 10:191), but only a subset of them participate in the immune response to Leptospira (Rogers,A.N. et al 2005 J. Immunol. 174:3386-93). This subset is labelled by an antibody recognizing the first WC1 cloned, known as WC1.1. A subset labelled by an antibody recognizing the second WC1 cloned, known as WC1.2, does not participate in the immune response to Leptospira. Anti-WC1-1 recognizes SRCR domain 1 of WC1-1, WC1-3, WC1-11 and WC1-nd1; anti-WC1.2 recognizes SRCR domain 1 of WC1-4 and WC1-9 (Chen, C. et al 2009 | Group B SRCR domains bind to both protein and non-petidic ligands.
