Overview of the Pla-Alp11 structure.
A, side view of the extracellular part of the complex shown schematically. Extracellular loops are labeled (L1–L5). Alp11 residues (Lys557-Lys567) are shown as pink stick models. The Cys558-Cys566 disulfide bond is colored yellow. The active site residues (Asn84, Asp86, Asp206, and His208) are shown in yellow; the other residues that are important for activity are shown in cyan (Ser99 and His101) and green (Arg211). Residues in the two acidic pockets are shown in gray (Asp97, Asn151, Glu29, Asp204, and Glu217). B, stereoview of the Pla-Alp11 active site from the side, 90° rotated relative to A. Residues of the peptide are labeled in italics. 2 Fo − Fc map density is shown as a green mesh, contoured at 0.7 σ.
