Fig. 3. HhN binds to a cleft on IhogFn1. (A) Semitransparent molecular surface of the HhN/IhogFn1–2 complex superimposed on a ribbon diagram of the molecules. HhN is colored yellow, IhogFn1 is green, and IhogFn2 is light blue. The four residues that when mutated lead to loss of heparin binding are colored dark blue. (B) Electrostatic potential surface of the HhN/IhogFn1–2 complex, shown in the same orientation as in A. The black dotted line marks the boundary between HhN and IhogFn1–2. The four residues that when mutated lead to loss of heparin binding are outlined with white dashes. The color scale is calibrated to –12 kT/e and +12 kT/e for red and blue, respectively. (C) HhN/IhogFn1–2 interface. The four Hh residues mutated in the HhN/Ihog-interface 1 mutant are represented as balls and sticks, as are nearby IhogFn1–2 residues. Bridging waters are represented by red spheres and hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines. (D) Effects of HhN-interface mutations on HhN binding to Ihog-expressing Drosophila cultured cells.
