Figure 3.
FIGURE 3. The ligand binding face of rat CD48. The surface of the V-set domain of rCD48 is shown oriented to reveal the ligand-binding GFCC'C'' face of the protein, as in Fig. 2. A, the surfaces of residues whose mutation disrupts CD2 binding are colored red and labeled, whereas those whose mutation has no effect are colored green. B, the surface is uncolored to reveal its flatness; the outline of the CD2 binding surface (as seen in A) is shown. C, the surface is colored by its native electrostatic potential calculated at neutral pH; blue represents positive potential, white represents neutral, and red represents negative potential contoured at ±8.5 kT.
