FIGURE 2. Cartoon representations of adenovirus fiber heads in complex with CAR D1. HAd12, HAd37, and CAV-2 fiber heads are colored blue, pink, and yellow, respectively. CAR D1 is in green. A, top view of the structure of HAd12 fiber head in complex with CAR D1 (13). B, as A, but HAd37 fiber head. C, as A and B, but CAV-2 fiber head. D, part of the binding interface between HAd12 fiber head and CAR D1 showing some key interacting residues. E, equivalent region of interface between HAd37 fiber head and CAR D1 showing conservation of the interactions and additional unique interactions provided by HAd37 Glu^351 from the IJ loop. F, same region of the CAV-2 fiber head and CAR D1 interface showing equivalent interactions made by sometimes different fiber residues. Hydrogen bonds are shown in dotted lines. Residues marked with an asterisk are not fully represented for clarity.
