Figure 3. Structure of the A1-Botrocetin Complex(A) Stereo view (Ca tracing) of the complex. The current model includes 199 residues from 502 to 700 of the mutant A1 domain, 133 (119) residues of the a (b) subunits of botrocetin, and 94 water molecules. There is no electron density for the loop (residues 55-60 in the b subunit). The A1 domain is in blue; the a and b subunits of botrocetin are in pink and green, respectively. Gain-of-function mutations are shown as blue balls; loss-of-function mutations are shown in red; loss of botrocetin binding mutations are shown in yellow. The I546V mutation site is shown as a green ball.(B) Space-filling model of the complex with mutation sites indicated; same view as in (A). The NMC-4 antibody (V[H]-V[L] dimer) is shown as a semitransparent molecular surface.(C) Electrostatic surface potential contoured from -15 (red) to +15 (blue) kT e^ -1. The figure was made using RASTER3D [30] and GRASP [32].
