Figure 1. The structure of CD36 and its binding of fatty acids.

Figure 1

(a) The structure of CD36, shown in blue. The nine N-linked glycosylation sites and associated sugars are green while two palmitic acids are shown as pink sticks. (b) An alignment of CD36 (blue) with the structures of LIMP-2 at acidic (cyan) and neutral (pink) pH. Residues F153 from CD36 (orange) and H150 from LIMP-2 at acidic (light blue) and neutral (pink) pH are highlighted. (c) A section through a surface representation of CD36 showing the central core cavity occupied by two palmitic acids (pink). Insets show two putative entrances to this central cavity.
