Figure 4: Model of the ZP-N domain repeat region of ZP2. a, b, Domain architecture of ZP2 (a) and three-dimensional surface model of its ZP-N1–N4 region (b), with relevant features indicated (see Supplementary Table 5). aa, amino acids. Glycosylation and positively selected sites are dark blue and violet, respectively. Unless otherwise specified, the residue numbers refer to mouse ZP2 sequence. mAb, monoclonal antibody. c, Detail of the region boxed in b, highlighting a further disulphide bond between non-canonical Cys residues of ZP-N3. d, View of the region circled in b, suggesting that post-fertilization cleavage of ZP-N2 BC loop could affect the position of ZP-N1 relative to the rest of ZP2.
