FIGURE 1. The TRPV2-ARD structure. A, primary structure of TRPV2. Ankyrin repeats are shown in labeled gray boxes; starred repeats are not recognized by sequence motif searches. B, left: Coomassie-stained gel of 2.5 µg of each of the three final protein samples used in crystallization, constructs 62-326, 75-321 (Se-Met substituted), and 75-321. Right: representative size exclusion chromatography trace of construct 75–321 on a Superdex 200 10/30 column. Arrows indicate elution volumes of molecular mass standards (molecular mass in kDa). C, ribbon diagram of TRPV2-ARD showing each ankyrin repeat in a distinct color. D, superposition of TRPV2-ARD structures. For clarity, only one chain from each crystal form is shown. Regions showing the most variability are colored green, gold, and blue for crystal forms I, II, and III, respectively. E, a large number of aromatic residues (shown in purple) are concentrated on the solvent-exposed surface of fingers 2 and 3.
