FIG. 1. Comparison of NBD1 structures. A, sequence alignment of human and mouse NBD1 with NBD domains from other ABC transporters. Blue background, -strands; pink, -helices; purple, 3[10] helices; gray, absence of density in the electron density map. Numbering of the secondary structure elements for CFTR NBD1 is indicated in shaded blocks in the top row. Bold blue indicates residues with high sequence conservation in ABC domains, while bold red indicates residues that have been mutated in forms of hNBD1. Protein Data Bank ID codes are indicated in parentheses. B, stereo pair of superimposed worm diagrams of NBD1 from CFTR. Regions with conformational differences are shown in cyan for hNBD1-2b-F508A (molecule E), blue for hNBD1-7a- F508, and gold for mNBD1 (molecule B). Bound ATP is shown in wire frame representation employing the same colors. The figure was made using Spock (31).
