Figure 1. Overall Structure of the DIAP1-BIR2 Domain by Itself (A) and in Complex with the Grim (B) or Hid (C) PeptideThe DIAP1-BIR2 domain is shown in cyan and the bound Grim and Hid peptides are highlighted in orange and pink, respectively. The zinc atom in the BIR domain is colored red, while its coordinating residues are shown in yellow. Some of the secondary structural elements are labeled. In (D), the structures of DIAP1-BIR2 by itself and in complex with the Hid/Grim peptides are superimposed with that of XIAP-BIR3 in complex with the Smac tetrapeptide (Protein Data Bank code 1G73). The DIAP1-BIR2 and XIAP-BIR3 are shown in cyan and purple, respectively. The bound Grim and Hid peptides are highlighted in orange and pink, respectively, while the Smac tetrapeptide is represented in green. Helix α6, highlighted in red, is only present in the peptide-bound BIR2
