Figure 5.
FIG. 5. Structure-based sequence alignment of Rab9 with the most similar structures. The sequence number for the first residue of each line is indicated on the left. The positions of the secondary structural elements in Rab9 are indicated by underlining the sequence and labeling as in Fig. 1. Residues that are highly conserved in the Rab GTPase family are indicated in boldface type. Residues that are known to contact GDP in protein-GDP complex structures are indicated in red. Additional residues that would interact with the -phosphate in protein-GTP analog complex structures are shown in purple. The seven regions that show high degree of conformational variation among the superimposed structures (see Fig. 6) are highlighted in gold and labeled. See Table III for protein abbreviations and references.
