FIG. 3. ttLC-FACS crystal structure. Ribbon representations of the ttLC-FACS dimer are shown (A). In the panel, the secondary structure of the C-terminal domain is colored in green. In the N-terminal domain, -helix and -sheet are colored in cyan and red, respectively, with the N-terminal domain-swapping peptide colored in yellow. The electrostatic potential surface map of ttLC-FACS dimer in the same orientation as the representation in A. Red represents negatively charged regions, and blue represents positively charged regions (B). Close-up view of the N-terminal peptide involved in domain swapping in the reverse orientation view to A (C). Residues with carbons colored in pink against a cyan surface of one monomer interacts with the concave surface of the other monomer colored in yellow. There are salt bridges at the domain swapping region. The monomer of ttLC-FACS with each secondary structure feature is labeled according to the scheme given in Fig. 2A (D).
