Identifying the hotspots on the top faces of WD40-repeat proteins from their primary sequences by β-bulges and DHSW tetrads.
The analysis of 36 available crystal structures of WD40 repeat proteins reveals widespread existence of a beta-bulge formed at the beginning of strand a and the end of strand b, termed as WD(b-a) bulge: among a total of 259 WD40 blades, there are 243 such β-bulges. The R(1) positions in these WD(b-a...
