Comparison with human MIF homologs. (a) His-TvMIF trimers (shown in gray) superpose well with each other and with hMIF-1 (PDB entry 1mif, shown in blue). (b) They also superpose well with hMIF-2 (PDB entry 3ker). All three structures reveal prototypical MIF trimers. (c) The additional residues in His-TvMIF occupy the location of the tautomerase inhibitor IPP (shown as golden sticks) in hMIF-2; further details of the N-terminus are shown in the enlarged red parentheses. |
