Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Fine structure of the GPIb R-loop and anionic region. a and b, the R-loop and -strands from the concave face viewed from two orientations related by 90° rotation are shown. Key residues are labeled including platelet-type von Willebrand disease mutations G233V and M239V and the Bernard-Soulier syndrome mutation A156V. c, fine structure of the GPIb anionic region. Key residues in the anionic region (residues 269-279) are indicated showing the interactions with the disulfide loop and -turn repeat motif from LRR8. The backbone of the anionic region is colored red, the disulfide loop is colored dark green, and the LRR8 is colored blue. Key hydrogen bonding/electrostatic interactions are indicated as dotted blue lines.
