Figure 1. A, Domain structure of spinophilin (top) and neurabin (bottom). Sequence identity between the domains is annotated in the figure. B, Primary sequence alignment of the neurabin SAM and shank3 SAM domains. The zinc binding residues in shank3 and the corresponding residues in neurabin are highlighted by boxes (see text). The shank3 (M1803E) mutation that is necessary to achieve high enough protein solubility and reduced aggregation is underlined. Secondary structure for the neurabin SAM domain is included above the sequence alignment.
