1)CFTR NBD1 contains an insertion
of 35 residues between Beta-strands S1 and S2 colored in
green.The insertion is made up of two short alpha helices which
are separated by a flexible link region.
2)Altered
geometry from insertion of 35 residues colored in blue for the
base and ribose in NBD1 which can also be deleted and preserve
its function.
3)There is also a lack of 14-27 residue between
Beta-strands S4 and S6 colored in navy blue. Which in ABC
transporter NBDs typically have an additional beta strand and
alpha helix. |
