3 Figure S1. Conservation of human SYT2 and Drosophila SYT1. (A) Schematic diagram of the key residues (green) that protrude from the top of the C2B domain that coordinate calcium binding in SYT2 (diagram based on Fernandez et. al. 1 ). The Asp307 residue is highlighted in orange. (B) Alignment of amino acid sequences of human SYT1, human SYT2 and Drosophila SYT1, highlighting the conservation between the synaptic vesicle SYT isoforms. The transmembrane domain and the C2A and C2B calcium binding domains are highlighted in black, purple, and blue boxes, respectively. The five key aspartate (D) residues that mediate calcium binding to each C2 domain are indicated with green asterisks. The fifth aspartate reside in C2B in human SYT1 is replaced by a glutamate residue in human SYT2 and Drosophila SYT1. The Asp307 residue (Asp362 in Drosophila) is shown in the orange box and the Pro308 residue is shown in the pink box.
