Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Structural details and sequence conservation of the NOA motif. (a) Alignment of the NOA sequence from human, mouse, and Drosophila NEMO homologues and from human Optineurin and ABIN-1, -2, and -3 proteins. Numbers correspond to the first and last residue of the protein sequence. Identical and similar residues are colored red and yellow, respectively. Diamonds indicate residues linked to human pathologies: EDA-ID (blue), ID (green), and IP (red), corresponding to the following mutations (human numbering): D311N, E315A, R319Q, and A323P. The heptad position (a–g) is indicated at the bottom. (b) Close-up view of the NEMO NOA region (helices are colored as in Fig. 1). Conserved residues are shown as ball-and-stick representations, with O and N atoms in red and blue, respectively. Broken lines point to residues involved in salt bridge or H-bond formation. For clarity, only one set of conserved residues is displayed. (c) Helical wheel representation of the NOA coiled coil, starting from residue V293 at position c. Residues linked to human pathologies are colored red. Blue lines indicate intermolecular salt bridges.
