Figure 3. Comparison of KIR2DL3 and KIR2DL1 structures. (a) Comparison of the D1-D2 orientation in KIR2DL3 (red) and KIR2DL1 (green). Ca traces for superposition based on D2 are shown in two orthogonal views. (b) Comparison of the D1-D2 interface in KIR2DL3 (grey with sidechain atoms coloured orange, blue and red for C, N and O, respectively) and KIR2DL1 (green). Key residue sidechains are shown in ball-and-stick representation. The mauve mesh depicts the sidechain electron density for residues 17, 100, 102, 178 and 188, for which the sidechain atoms beyond Ca were omitted from the phasing model (2F[o]-F[c] map contoured at 1s).
