Figure 2
Structure comparison. (a) Structure-based sequence alignment of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3; 33% identity), T. brucei Atg8 (TbAtg8; 46% identity), S. cerevisiae Atg8 (ScAtg8; 56% identity) and GABARAP (90% identity) with BmAtg8. The sequences of homologues of BmAtg8 were obtained from the PDB. The secondary structure of LC3 is shown at the top and that of BmAtg8 is shown at the bottom. Alignments were performed using the programs MULTALIN (Corpet, 1988BB3) and ESPript (Gouet et al., 2003BB8). Conserved residues are marked by blue boxes and identical residues are shown in red. (b) Overall structure superposition of BmAtg8 (red) with GABARAP (green), LC3 (magenta), TbAtg8 (orange) and ScAtg8 (cyans). This figure was prepared using PyMOL (DeLano, 2002BB6).
