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.
