Strychnine bound to GBP. (a) The chemical structure of the natural product. (b) The key residues and orientation of strychnine bound to GBP. A similar color scheme as shown in Fig. 3 is used, with C positions of strychnine in black and C positions of acetate and ethanediol (EDO) in green. (c) The binding of strychnine to the human GlyR-α3 homomer from PDB entry 5cfb (Huang et al., 2015); the residue numbers in the PDB entry are retained. (d) For comparative purposes the alignment of GBP [see Fig. 1(b)] with human GlyR-α3 is shown using the numbering scheme of the PDB entry. Residues shown in (c) are shown in gray for the principal side and in cyan for the complementary side. |
