Figure 1 Molecular structure of Ebp1 and comparison with a type II human MAP (hMAP2). (A) Ribbon diagram of the crystal structure of Ebp1(8–360); -helices are coloured pink and -strands blue. (B) Superposition of Ebp1 in orange and hMAP2 in cyan (PDB 1kq9 (Nonato et al, 2006)); insertions in Ebp1 are coloured dark red and those in hMAP2 dark blue. (C–E) Comparison of the active site of hMAP2 with the corresponding region in Ebp1. Side chains of selected residues are shown as sticks for (C) hMAP2, (D) a superposition of hMAP2 and Ebp1 and (E) Ebp1. The colour coding is the same as for panel B.
