Figure 1.
Figure 1. Three-Dimensional Structure of the Synaptotagmin 1 C2B-Domain. (A) and (B) show superpositions of the 20 structures with the lowest NOE energies in two different orientations. (C) and (D) are ribbon diagrams of the structure of the C2B-domain in the same orientations. Strands are labeled from 1 to 8, helices are labeled HA and HB, and the Ca2+ ions (orange spheres) are labeled Ca1 and Ca2. Note that the loop connecting strands 5 and 6 forms a very short alpha-helix in some C2-domains but such helix is not observed in the structure of the synaptotagmin 1 C2B-domain. The figure was generated with the programs InsightII (MSI, San Diego, California) and Molscript (Kraulis, 1991).
