Sequence alignment of the Sp domain of human ADAMTS-1, -4, -5 and -13. Uniprot accession numbers were Q9UHI8 (ADAMTS-1, aa 725–749), O75173 (ADAMTS-4, aa|686–837), Q9UNA0 (ADAMTS-5, aa 732–874) and Q76LX8 (ADAMTS-13, aa 556–685). Percentage identities were 23.9, 17.6 and 14.2%, respectively, compared with ADAMTS-13. Beta strands and β1-β2, β3-β4 and β9-β10 loops are indicated. In ADAMTS-13, the vWF-binding exosite in loop β9-β10 is highlighted. Boxes indicate amino acids conserved in at least three of the four enzymes and are coloured according physicochemical properties (purple, positively charged; yellow, negatively charged; green, apolar; cyan, polar).
