Figure 4 Comparison of TLP- with other -propeller domains from compartmentalized proteases. (a) Ribbon diagram of TLP- as viewed along the sevenfold pseudo-symmetry axis. The nine aspartate residues forming the negative ring at the entrance to the channel are highlighted as a ball-and-stick model. (b) Electrostatic surface representation of TLP- in top, bottom and cut-open side views. Negative surface charges are coloured red and positive charges blue. (c) Surface representation (colour codes: aromatic, green; aliphatic, yellow; polar, cyan; charged, grey) showing the interior side of the channel of the superimposed structures of TLP- (I), POP (II), TRI- 7 (III) and DPP-IV (IV) from the bottom view.
