Figure 2. Individual domains of the receptor-binding protein from phage p2. (a) The shoulder domain, with a rainbow color gradient from the N-terminus (blue) to the C-terminus (red). -strands are numbered sequentially 1-8. Dashed line indicates the absence of residues 10-18 in the electron density map. (b) The neck -prism domain formed by the interlaced assembly of three segments within positions 142-163. The three faces of the -prism are identified by the letters A, B and C; the strands in each subunit are numbered 1-4. (c) The head domain with a rainbow color gradient from the N-terminus (blue) to the C-terminus (red). -strands are numbered sequentially 1-7. The view is rotated 90° from that in b. (d) Common double Greek-key topology shared by phage p2, adenovirus and reovirus RBPs. The fourth strand of the Greek-key motif is disordered in phage p2. (e) Sequence alignment of the RBPs from phages p2, sk1 and bIL170. The secondary structure of phage p2 RBP is indicated above the alignments and -strands are colored red, green or blue to denote their location in the shoulders, neck or head, respectively (alignment made by MULTALIN (http://prodes.toulouse.inra.fr/multalin/multalin.html)).
