Figure 2. Space filling representation and stereo view of the protein 4.1R core domain showing the binding regions for band 3, glycophorin C/D, p55 and CaM. The color code for the binding regions of band 3, glycophorin C/D, p55 and CaM is the same as that used in Fig. 1d. a, Space filling representation of the surface of the protein 4.1R core domain. Negatively charged residues from the GPC binding region and positively charged residues from the p55 binding region are colored in a darker hue. Key amino acid residues that have been shown to be critical for CaM binding are labeled: Ser 185 in the Ca^2+ sensitive CaM binding region; and Trp 268, Phe 277, and Phe 278 in the Ca^2+ insensitive CaM binding region. Tyr 41 from the band 3 binding sequence and Glu 246 from the p55 binding region are also labeled. b, Space filling representation viewed from the opposite side of the molecule shown in (a). Asp 216 and Glu 246 from the p55 binding region are labeled. c, Stereo view in the same orientation as that in (a). Binding regions for band 3, glycophorin C/D, and p55 are displayed in a translucent space filling representation while CaM binding regions are presented as ball-and-stick models. The Ca^ 2+ sensitive CaM binding sequence (red) is organized in an extended structure while the Ca^2+ insensitive CaM binding sequence (yellow) shows -helical structure.
