Figure 2: Details of the Ran–RanGAP interface. a, Worm plot of Ran and RanGAP, with colours as in Fig. 1 and important residues shown in ball and stick representation. The uncomplexed RanGAP (cyan) is superimposed; arrows indicate the movement of Lys 76 and Arg 74, and asterisk symbolizes the potential clash of Leu 43 and Lys 76 on complex formation. b, Switch II of Ran (green) superimposed on the Ran–ranBD1 structure (blue), illustrating the reorientation of Gln 69 into a catalytically competent conformation by the residues Tyr 39 from Ran and Asn 131 fron RanGAP.
