Figure 2. Crystal structure and structural analysis of apo Norrin.(A) Schematic diagram of Norrin is rainbow coloured and disulphide bonds are drawn as lines. Cartoon representation of dimeric Norrin. Four intramolecular disulphide bonds are shown as magenta sticks. Cys93, Cys95, and Cys131 (forming intermolecular disulphide bridges) are shown as cyan, blue, and green sticks, respectively. Two cystine-knot motifs are marked with dotted boxes and the filled circles denote the N- and C-termini. (B) Ribbon diagram of superpositions of Norrin molecules from the asymmetric unit of crystal form I (green, chain A and B; cyan, chain C and D; magenta, chain E and F), crystal form II (yellow, chain A and B; blue, chain C and D), crystal form III (grey, chain A and B; purple, chain C and D), and MBP-Norrin (cyan; PDB ID: 4MY2). The flexible regions are highlighted as red lines. Loop regions (β1-β2 loop, β3-β4 loop, and β5-β6 loop) show structural plasticity. The well ordered regions include the cystine-knot motifs plus intermolecular disulphide linked areas (black circle) and two Fz4 binding sites (cyan dotted circle). (C) Representative Norrin dimer displayed with the diameter of the Cα tube defined by Cα atom B factor (small tube means structural rigidity; large tube indicates structural flexibility).DOI:

Electron density map of Norrin structure.The initial density modified map from PHENIX AUTOSOL (Terwilliger, 2000, Terwilliger et al., 2009) calculated with experimental Se-Met SAD phases is contoured at 1.5 σ and shown as blue meshes. The initial model from BUCCANEER (Cowtan, 2006) is shown as magenta ribbon diagram. The anomalous difference map for Se-Met is contoured at 4 σ as green meshes with Se-Met residues labelled.DOI:
