Fig. 3. SPACA6 and IZUMO1 are founding members of a fertilization-associated superfamily.

Fig. 3

a Domain architecture schematic of the IST superfamily with the 4HB, hinge, and Ig-like domains colored orange, green, and blue, respectively. IZUMO4 has a unique C-terminal region, which is colored black. Confirmed and putative disulfide bonds are shown in solid and dashed magenta lines, respectively. b Ribbon diagrams of the IST superfamily of gamete fusion-associate proteins IZUMO1 (PDB: 5F4E), SPACA6, IZUMO2 (AlphaFold DB: AF-Q6UXV1-F1), IZUMO3 (AlphaFold DB: AF-Q5VZ72-F1), IZUMO4 (AlphaFold DB: AF-Q1ZYL8-F1), and TMEM95 (AlphaFold DB: AF-Q3KNT9-F1) shown in the same color scheme as in panel A. Disulfide bonds are shown in magenta. Transmembrane helices of TMEM95, IZUMO2, and IZUMO3 are not shown.
