Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structure of Epac. a, Domain organization of Epac1 and 2. Indicated color code is used throughout the figure. b, Stereo view of a 2F[o] - F[c] composite omitted electron density map (contoured at 1.5 ). The hydrophobic environment of Leu408 and Phe435 is shown. Different parts of the peptide chain are highlighted by individual colors. c, Ribbon diagram of the regulatory domain of Epac2 with N and C termini as indicated. The C-terminal extra helix of the DEP domain is dark green. d, Amino acid sequence, with secondary structure annotation. The phosphate-binding cassette (PBC) is indicated in red letters. Dashed lines indicate portions of the polypeptide chain not visible in the electron density. e, The two possible arrangements (1 and 2) for the first cNMP-binding domain relative to the second (see text). Arrangement 1 corresponds to (c). Dotted lines, linker 1 and 2, indicate the minimal path of the polypeptide chain required to bridge the gap in both arrangements.
