Fig. 3. Mapping of functional data onto the structure of CD55[34]. This figure was drawn using AESOP (M. E. M. Noble, unpublished program). All plates show two views of the surface of CD55, the first view corresponding to the orientation as shown in Fig. 1 and termed Front View. The Back View corresponds to a rotation of 180 degrees about the long axis of the molecule. A, orange indicates the sites mutagenized in this study, and yellow indicates the sites of sequence difference between AGM and human CD55. B, AP indicates the mutation shown to effect alternative pathway decay acceleration, and CP indicates those sites shown to affect classical pathway decay acceleration; both those sites have been shown to affect both pathways. Dark green indicates those sites shown previously to effect both classical and alternative pathway decay acceleration (22). C, sites marked with a virus name have been shown to affect binding of that virus. Sites marked in pale pink are the sites of difference between AGM and human CD55 that are known to abolish EV11 binding and significantly reduce EV12 binding. D, the locations of two of the Cromer variants of human CD55 are shown. Different E. coli strains are sensitive to changes at one or other of these positions (28, 30, 32).
