2. Figure 1 Sequence of Human Hepsin
Residues shown in green are proposed to lie in the cytoplasm, and residues shown in orange are proposed to form the transmembrane sequence. Residues shown in blue are extracellular and form part of the construct used for crystallography. Within the extracellular region, there is a mutation, N111A (pink), that was created to remove a potential N-linked glycosylation site. Hepsin is proteolytically cleaved to form the active species; the site of the cleavage is shown with a vertical line. The three arrows point to the residues forming the serine protease's catalytic triad.

The Catalytic Domain of Hepsin Is Structurally Homologous to Members of the Chymotrypsin Family of Serine Proteases
The serine protease domain of hepsin (red) superimposed on the corresponding domains of tryptase (orange) (1A0L) (Pereira et al., 1998), chymotrypsin (blue) (1AFQ) (Yennawar et al., 1994), uPA (green) (1C5L) (Katz et al., 2000), matriptase (cyan) (1EAX) (Friedrich et al., 2002), and enteropeptidase (yellow) (1EKB) (Lu et al., 1999). The catalytic triad of hepsin is shown in black.

The electron density map is contoured at 1.0 σ (orange) and 2.4 σ (red). Short hydrogen bonds, cyan; protease-inhibitor and inhibitor-water hydrogen bonds, white; other hydrogen bonds, yellow. The long N2amidine-Oδ2Asp189 hydrogen bond (3.32 Å) is transparent white.

6. Figure 5 The Noncatalytic Chain of Hepsin Forms an SRCR Domain
(A) Stereo figure showing the SRCR domain of hepsin; arrows, β strands; coils, α helices. The strands are labeled A–G according to their positions in the hepsin sequence.
(B) Stereo figure showing the SRCR domain of hepsin superimposed on the structure of the SRCR domain of Mac-2 binding protein (Protein Data Bank accession code 1BY2) (Hohenester et al., 1999). The comparison is based on a superposition of 46 pairs of α-carbons from the core of the two proteins (residues 53–57, 62–66, 72–77, 83–103, and 144–152 of hepsin and the corresponding residues of M2BP SRCR).
