Figure 6
The calveolin-binding motif. (a) The conserved calveolin-binding motif (CBM) is evident in the alignment of the sequences of SmVAL4, GAPR1, Pry1 and Pry2. The secondary-structural elements shown are for SmVAL4 and GAPR1 (PDB entry 4aiw
). The location of the CBM is identified with a blue line, while the CRISP1 motif is shown as a red line. The figure was generated using EsPript and ClustalW and structural elements are labeled as described in Fig. 2. (b) The superposed ribbon structures of SmVAL4 (gray) and GAPR1 (cyan) reveals the conformational flexibility of the CBM (shown in stick representation and identified with a blue arrow). The inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) that was co-crystallized with GAPR1 is shown in a cyan stick representation. (c) Close-up of the superposed CBM showing the conformational difference of the loops. |
