Figure 5. Mutagenesis Data Mapped onto StructureThe positions of substitutions that abolished (red) or decreased (blue) pIgA binding to rabbit pIgR (Coyne et al., 1994) are mapped onto the human pIgR D1 structure. A close-up of the CDR1 region is shown in the upper right, and the sequence of CDR1 in human and rabbit pIgR D1 is shown in the lower right. Val29 (black), which is solvent exposed in the D1 structure, was assumed to be buried and was therefore not substituted (Bakos et al. 1993 and Coyne et al. 1994).
