Figure 1. Structure of D1 protease. a, Ribbon drawing of D1P. The A domain is in red, the B domain in yellow and the C domain in blue. The extended -hairpin loop from the C domain forms an integral part of the folding domain A and is regarded as part of that domain. The loops that connect domains A to B and B to C have very high temperature factors and are colored in green. The side chains of the residues involved in catalysis or substrate binding, K397, S372 and R247, are shown in ball-and-stick representation. The GVGL loop in the B domain, highlighted in magenta, has been shown to be involved in the binding of the C-terminal residues of the peptide ligand in the structurally homologous third PDZ domain of synaptic protein PSD-95^25. b, Stereo view of the C trace of D1P. Every 10^th residue and the N-terminus and C-terminus are labeled. The disulfide bond between Cys 260 and Cys 451 is shown in yellow. The orientation of the molecule is the same as the standard orientation in (a).
