Figure 2. The Sequence Alignment of ICAM-1 with ICAM-3 and ICAM-5As shown in the figure, ICAM-1, ICAM-3, and ICAM-5 align very well. The conserved residues include all cysteines (yellow), three integrin binding residues (cyan), those involved in the D4–D4 dimerization interface (residues forming a salt bridge are in green and hydrophobic contacts are in yellow-green), and those involved in the D3–D4 bending interface (magenta). In this figure, each domain's first residue is manifest with its label, β strands are marked above the ICAM-1 sequence, and every tenth residue is marked with a dot above the ICAM-1 sequence. In addition, glycosylation sites are colored in red, whereas the disordered 16 residues in D4 of the D3–D5 crystal structure are shaded in gray.
