Figure 2. Solution structure of the P. equi dockerin. a, Stereo view of the ensemble of 34 structures, colored from red at the N-terminus to blue at the C-terminus. b, Stereo MOLSCRIPT27 diagram of the dockerin structure, showing the locations of disulfide bridges and the binding site residues discussed in the text. The protein present in the sample consisted of 52 residues -- that is, the 38-residue 'core' sequence that is highly conserved in fungal dockerins, plus all 12 residues C-terminal of the core sequence prior to the start of the second dockerin domain, and two N-terminal residues from the GST-tag. The figure shows only the ordered residues -2 -44. c, Surface of the protein, in the same orientation as (b). Side chains of residues Tyr 8 and Trp 35 are in purple, and Asp 23 in light lilac. Acidic residues are in red, basic in dark blue and hydrophobic in yellow.
