FIG. 4. Dimer structure and interface of Tyro3-D1D2. A, the surface representation of the Tyro3-D1D2 dimer (monomers in red and green) viewed from two different angles shows that dimerization occurs solely through interactions between the N-terminal Ig domains (D1). The two monomers are related to each other by a 2-fold symmetry. B, overview of the dimer interface. Amino acids involved in the interface are shown as stick representations in the case of one monomer; in the second monomer, the corresponding amino acids are shown in a surface representation and highlighted in dark green when they are part of the contract surface. C, hydrogen bond network formed between B-strand residues across the interface.
