Fig. 3. Comparison of KSHV Bcl-2 (A) to Bcl-x[L] (B) and to Bcl-2 (C). Residues of the hydrophobic groove that are homologous to those that contact the Bak and Bad peptides when complexed to Bcl-x[L] are shown along with the tryptophan residue of the NWGR sequence. To emphasize the differences in the structured regions of the proteins, we have made our comparisons to truncated forms of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x[L] (17, 18).
