Figure 6. Taxonomy of C[2] domains. a, Topologies of the different subclasses of C[2] domains that have been identified and that we refer to as topologies IA (SytI C[ 2]A domain and PKC- C[2] domain), IB (rabphilin C[ 2]B domain), IIA (PLC- 1 and cPLA[2] C[2] domains) and IIB (PKC- ) (see text). For simplicity, very short -helices within loops of several C[2] domains have not been included in the classification. b, Superpositions of the backbone of the rabphilin C[2]B domain (red) with the backbone of C[2] domains from the other three subclasses (black). The superpositions with SytI C[2]A domain (PDB code 1RSY) and the cPLA[2] C[2] domain (PDB code 1RLW) are shown in the same orientation as Fig. 3a -c . The superposition with the PKC- C[2] domain (PDB code 1BDY) is shown with helix 2 in front, as in Fig. 3d. The positions of secondary structure elements discussed in the text (strand 8 and helix 2) are indicated.
