Figure 4.
FIGURE 4. gD mimics BTLA. a, molecular surface of HVEM (CDR1 white; CRD2, light blue; CRD3, blue) is shown with C- renderings of BTLA. HVEM residues crucial for BTLA affinity (P17, V36, and Y23) are colored red and labeled. b, molecular surface of HVEM colored as in a with C- rendering of gD (N- and C-terminal extensions, yellow; Ig domain, green). HVEM residues crucial for gD affinity (C37 and Y23 (28)) are colored red and labeled. c, sequence of the structurally similar short -strands in BTLA and gD that bind HVEM.
