Fig. 4. Local structures and interactions of the NT region of helix V and ICL2 in the closed and open forms of AdipoR1(A208).

Fig. 4

ag Molecule A (green) in the closed form. hl Molecule C (salmon) in the open form. In the closed form, Arg267 (the NT region of helix V) hydrogen bonds with Tyr209 (helix III) and Tyr317 (helix VI) as viewed from the intracellular side (a), thereby constricting the major cavity (b). Pro261 (ICL2) and Arg264 (NT) interact with Lys105 and/or Asp106 of NGD (c), Arg264 and Gln265 (NT) interact with Tyr317, Ala318, and Arg320 (helix VI) (d), and Gln254 (helix IV) and Asp256 (ICL2) interact with Lys206 (helix III) (e) in the closed form. In contrast, in the open form, these interactions are completely disrupted (jl). In both forms, Arg257 and Thr260 interact with His263 within ICL2 (f, h) and Phe258 (ICL2) interacts with Val252 (helix IV) and Thr266 (helix V) (g, i).
