Figure 8.
Variability in the P[i] binding pocket.a, transparent surface representation of the human sperm model in the vicinity of the active site, with the loop containing residues 189–192 shown in sticks representation for the human sperm model with carbons in cyan, along with the equivalent loop from human placental GAPDH (1U8F) in light magenta, human liver GAPDH (1ZNQ) in purple, and rabbit muscle GAPDH (1J0X) in white. The Glc-3-P structure is shown with green carbons demonstrating the P[s] site, and a model of 3-chlorolactaldehyde (CL) is shown in the P[i] site, with carbons in blue. b, intersubunit selectivity cleft of the His-GAPDS tetramer is shown in schematic diagram (D, blue; A, yellow; B, red), with the residues that differ in sequence shown as sticks. The equivalent loops in human GAPDH are shown in cyan.
