Figure 3.
Figure 3. (a) Overall comparison of the vWFA domain of C2a (magenta) and isolated vWFA domain of Bb (yellow). The magnesium ion of C2a is shown in silver and that of Bb is shown in pink. The N-terminal linker of C2a is shown in red and the disordered α7 helix of Bb is shown by a yellow dotted line. (b) Stereo view comparison of the α7 helix and its environment of C2a with other known integrin I-domain “open” and “closed” structures. C2 is in magenta; the ligand-free α2β1 I-domain closed form is in yellow, the ligand-bound α2β1 I-domain is in cyan and the Bb^C428–C435 mutant of Bb is in green. (c) Stereo view of superposition of the α7 helix and its environment of C2a (magenta) and Bb (yellow). The linker to the SP domain of C2a shown in blue and that to Bb is shown in green. The additional N terminus of C2a is shown in red. The sugar molecule of C2a that is located at the domain interface near the α7 helix is shown in white and labeled as NAG. The magnesium ion of C2a is shown in silver and that of Bb is shown in yellow. Figure 3. (a) Overall comparison of the vWFA domain of C2a (magenta) and isolated vWFA domain of Bb (yellow).
