FIG. 2. Dimerization of SpeJ. Stereo view of the SPE-J dimer, with the two molecules shown in blue and yellow. Side chains that make significant contributions to the dimer interface are shown in red, with the major contributors labeled: Y, Tyr-14; I, Ile-19; F, Phe-77; and R, Arg-181. The C-terminal domain in each monomer provides the binding site for the zinc ion (gray sphere) that binds to MHC-II. Fig. drawn with MOLSCRIPT (43) and rendered with RASTER3D (44).
