Figure 1. Structure of impb449. (a) Stereo view of impb449 dimer in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure of the impb449 molecules forms a dimer, which is composed of molecule I(pink) and II(green) in the asymmetric unit. Three interaction sites for dimer formation are depicted by the ball-and-stick model. The C-terminal area interaction is in purple, and the second and third interaction sites are in blue and red, respectively. (b) HEAT repeat helices in impb449. The convex side of helices of A1-A10 and the concave side of the helices of B1-B10 and 3[10] helices are colored in blue, red and light blue, respectively. C2 helix is colored in green. (c) Structural alignment of the ten HEAT repeats of impb449. The first amino acid residue of each repeat is indicated on the left. Each repeat contains helix A and B. The repeat 2 contains helix C. Underlined residues in repeats 3, 4, and 5 comprise 3[10] helices indicated in (b).
