The structure position (β, bulge, flap, α) indicates the positions in human FKBP12. The conserved amino acid residues compared to the residues of the human FKBP12-binding pocket are shown in boldface type. 

b

E. coli FKBP homolog (15). 

c

Values in parentheses show the IC50 for FK506 in nanomolar; — means that it is insensitive to FK506. In the case of ecFKBY, sensitivity to FK506 is expressed by a Ki value. 

d

E. coli trigger factor (34). 

e

E. coli 22-kDa FKBP (28). 

f

L. pneumophila FKBP (9). 

g

N. crassa FKBP (38). 

h

Streptomyces chrysomallus FKBP (26).
