Predicted 3D Structure of FnBPB isotype I. Based on the crystal structure of domain A of ClfA, a ligand-binding trench is predicted to form between the N2 (green) and N3 (yellow) domains of FnBPB. The fourteen C-terminal residues that are predicted to form the putative latching peptide are shown in blue. Residues that differ in FnBPB types II, III and IV are highlighted in red in the ribbon (B) and space fill (C) models. Residues that are predicted to form the latching peptide and ligand binding trench are conserved while variant residues are located on the surface.
