Figure 1.
Structure of the GPVI CBD. (A) Ribbon diagram of GPVI. The N-terminal domain is labeled D1, and the C-terminal domain is D2. The predicted N-glycosylation site at N72 is shown by a gold ball. (B) Simulated annealing electron density omit map showing the C′E region of the CBD that differs from related immune receptors, with a ball-and-stick model of the deleted region superimposed. (C) Superposition of GPVI (blue), p58 KIR40 (green), and FcαRI41 (yellow). The orientation is similar to that shown in panel A. (D) Superposition of D1 of GPVI (blue) and p58 KIR40 (green) shown in 2 orientations, highlighting the unusual C′E region in GPVI (blue arrows). (E) Superposition of D2 of GPVI (blue) and p58 KIR40 (green) in 2 orientations, highlighting the lack of an A′ strand and the extended CC′ hairpin in GPVI (note blue/green arrows).
