Structural representation of HtrA1 with the indicated locations
of the three primary N-termini generated by autolysis. The HtrA1 domain
architecture is visualized by representation of the structures for
the N-domain [Protein Data Bank (PDB) entry 3TJQ(30)], the trimeric proteolytic core (PDB entry 3NWU(29)), and the PDZ domain (PDB entry 2YTW(48)). Disulfide
bridges are shown as yellow spheres, and the catalytic triad is shown
as red spheres. The cut sites resulting in the three major autolytic
forms are numbered from 1 to 3, and their position in the folded N-domain
is indicated with arrows. The new N-termini were identified by Edman
degradation, and the surrounding sequence for each cut site is shown
below the structure. Cut sites 1 and 2 are the result of cleavages
with cysteine at position P1.
