Figure 2.
MIDAS of the I domain in different conformations. The MIDAS residues of the I domain are shown as stick models and colored with purple carbon atoms in IA in the AL-57/IA structure (A), green carbon atoms in HA in the ICAM-3/HA structure (B, PDB code 1T0P) and cyan carbon atoms in the unligated IA with closed conformation (C, PDB code 1MJN). Acidic residues from ligands D101 in AL-57 (A) and E37 in ICAM-3 (B), are also shown as stick models with yellow carbon atoms. All oxygen atoms are in red. Metal ions in the MIDAS are labeled and shown as spheres. Waters in MIDAS are shown as red spheres and labeled with a “w.” Coordination bonds are shown as dashed lines. Compared to the closed conformation in the unligated IA, in which D239 coordinated to the MIDAS metal ion directly (C), D239 in IA(A) or HA (B) coordinated to the metal ion via a water molecule and the metal ion shifted about 2.3Å and coordinated to T206 directly.
