Figure 4.
Figure 4 Domain III shares similar characteristics with a C[2] domain. A typical C[2] domain exists as an anti-parallel -sandwich with several acidic residues at one end that form a binding cradle for Ca^2+. The first C[2] domain from synaptotagmin (cyan, PDB accession code 1RSY) (Sutton et al., 1995) and D-III (green) have approximately the same overall dimensions, though slightly differing topologies. Numerous acidic residues (red) result in a highly negative potential, which is partially stabilized by adjacent basic residues (blue).
