Fig. 1. Loop structures and sequences of WW domains. (a) Backbone diagram of the loop 1 substructure in WT Pin WW (residues S16–R21) [Protein Data Bank (PDB) ID code 1PIN]. (b) Backbone diagram of the loop 1 substructure in WT FBP WW (residues T13–K17) (PDB ID code 1E01). Backbone H-bonds are indicated by black dotted lines. (c) Aligned sequences of the WT Pin WW domain (variant 1) and loop 1 redesigned variants 2–9 and the redesigned and sequence-minimized FBP WW variants (10 and 11). -strand residues are colored blue, residues that were mutated or deleted upon loop 1 redesign are in red, and all other residues are in gray.
