Figure 3.
Fig 3. FIH-1 structure contains a -jellyroll core marked by an extension of one of the -sheets away from the core and helices dotting the periphery. (A) A ribbon model of the FIH-1 monomer is positioned looking between the -sheets comprising the jellyroll and into the active site cavity. The active site metal is shown as a red sphere. Structural elements are colored as in Fig. 2. (B) A secondary structure topology diagram shows the arrangement of the 14 -strands (triangles) and 8 helices (circles) in FIH-1. The core jellyroll motif, structurally homologous to the cupin protein family, is colored in red. (C) FIH-1 exists as a functionally relevant dimer in the crystal. The first monomer of the dimer is colored as in A, whereas the second monomer is blue. N and C termini are marked as black circles. The figure was generated by using RIBBONS (41).
