Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Domain with cytokine activity. Stereo views of EMAP II are shown as C traces, truncated at residue 133 for a clear view. The view is in the same orientation as Fig. 3B. The domain, consisting of the residues 13-57, which is homologous to the chemokines, is shown in gray and consists of three strands ( 1- 3) and one short helix ( 1). The peptide sequence (residues 12-18) involved in chemotaxis of EMAP II is positioned at the beginning of this homologous domain. Three residues, Cys-15, Ile-17, and Thr-18, which were exposed to solvent, are shown by ball-and-stick symbols close to the end of strand 1. The other functional peptide sequence (residues 6-11) is located at the other side of a loop formed by residues 99-102. The hydrophobic residues Val-6, Leu-8, and Leu-11 form a shallow hydrophobic pocket with Phe-107 and Leu-132. N represents the location of Pro-3 and C the location of His-133. The C s of residues 12, 99, and 102 are shown as black circles.
