Figure 2: Structure of GAL8–Galbi complex.
From: Structural basis for recognition of autophagic receptor NDP52 by the sugar receptor galectin-8
(a) Overall structure of GAL8 with bound Galbi peptide (cyan) and NAD (purple) in the asymmetric unit. The other pair of crystallographic dimer is coloured grey. The first β-strand forming unique interaction is labelled as β1. (b) A topology diagram of GAL8. The β-strands in each N-CRD and C-CRD are numbered sequentially with prime (′) in the C-CRD. The β-strands with a solid line indicate a carbohydrate-binding side in each CRD and those of with a dashed line indicate an opposite side. The elongated purple and cyan ovals indicate NAD- and NDP52-binding sites, respectively. (c) Overall view of Galbi peptide (cyan) bound to the C-CRD of GAL8 (β-strands in yellow and residues in gray).
