Figure 2 The G domain fold in SHBG. (A and B) Ribbon representation of the N-terminal domain of SHBG in two orthogonal orientations. The -strands of the two sheets forming a -sandwich are coloured in yellow and blue, respectively. The steroid 5 -DHT is shown in a ball and stick representation. The segment 130–135, which is expected to loop over the steroid-binding pocket, is disordered and not visible in the electron density. The calcium ion is shown as a green dot (figures generated with MOLSCRIPT and RASTER3D; Kraulis, 1991; Merritt and Murphy, 1994). (C) Topology diagram of the -strands. Triangles pointing upwards denote -strands pointing out of the paper plane. The conserved disulfide bond between residues 164 and 188 is indicated as a dashed line.
