Figure 3.
Fig. 3. The ICAM-3/ [L] [2] binding interface. (A) The interface residues are shown in light cyan and light gold for ICAM-3 and the I domain, respectively. The metal ion, oxygens, and nitrogens are shown as magenta, red, and blue spheres, respectively. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. Metal coordination is shown by black dashed lines. Hydrogen bonds and a salt bridge between Lys-42 in ICAM-3 and Glu-241 in the I domain are represented by silver dashed lines. Residues involved in the hydrophobic patch are colored in silver. For clarity, MIDAS residues are omitted. (B) Structural elements that stabilize the conformation of the CD loop of ICAM-3. The CD and EF loops are colored in yellow and green, respectively. Only relevant side chains are shown in this figure for clarity. Hydrophobic, neutral hydrophilic, and basic residues are colored in orange, cyan, and blue, respectively. The broken lines represent hydrogen bonds, whereas the silver ball is a bound water molecule. A was prepared with RIBBONS (43), and B was prepared with SETOR (44).
