Figure 2. FAH structure, topology and HT1-associated mutations. (a) A stereo ribbon diagram illustrating the FAH subunit structure and position of point mutations causing hereditary tyrosinemia type I is shown. The N-terminal domain is located at the bottom of the figure. The mixed b-sandwich roll structure is centrally located in the figure. Helices are colored red; b strands are colored in shades of blue corresponding to the b sheet they form; the positions of point mutations are represented by green spheres; a calcium ion is colored yellow; acetate carbon and oxygen atoms are respectively colored orange and red (top of figure). (b) A topology diagram of the novel FAH b-strand arrangement is shown. b Strands are numbered in red according to their sequential occurrence in the polypeptide chain; residue numbering is in black. Sheets A, B and C are respectively colored in dark, light and medium shades of blue, as in (a). a Helices are represented by red rectangles. Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 6b were generated using MOLSCRIPT [40].
