Figure 5.
Fig. 5. (a) A schematic diagram featuring differences in the G-strand (red) between classic V-set Ig fold (left panel) and Siglec-specific Ig fold (right panel). Sia is shown as a β-strand (green). (b) Schematic representation of conserved main chain interactions between Siglec CFG β-sheet and Sia (green). The mode in which Sia interacts with main chain atoms on the G-strand mimics hydrogen bond interactions (dashed lines) in classic antiparallel pleated β-sheet.
