Figure 2. Comparison of Ca^2+-Free and Ca^2+-Bound Forms and Zn^2+-Bound Form of ALG-2
(A–C) Structures of EF1 (A), EF3 (B), and EF5 (C) of Ca^2+-free form (cyan) and Ca^2+-bound form (magenta) of des3-20ALG-2 and Zn^2+-bound form (green) of full-length ALG-2 are superimposed and shown in ribbon representation in side views and top views by aligning helices of (A) α1 (E1), (B) α4 (E3), and (C) α7 (E5), respectively, with the secondary structure matching program in COOT. Calcium atoms and zinc atoms are shown as yellow spheres and gray spheres, respectively.
(D) Overall structures of dimeric ALG-2 molecules in the three forms are aligned at α7 of molecule A and shown in wire presentation. The N-terminal Gly/Pro-rich region is invisible.
