Central hydrophobic domains of the NEET proteins. The amino acids belonging to the hydrophobic central patch of mNT (red), NAF-1 (orange) and At-NEET (green) are shown in ball and stick representations over the structures of mNT [25], NAF-1 [38] and At-NEET [30] structures colored in grey shades from the brighter to the darker, respectively. The localization of the conserved Tyr is affected by the displacement of the surrounding amino acids, modulating, therefore, its position and orientation
