Figure 1. Structures of SENP2 deconjugation complexes with RanGAP1–SUMO-1 and RanGAP1–SUMO-2. (a) Two nearly orthogonal views of the human SENP2 catalytic domain in complex with the C-terminal domain of RanGAP1 conjugated to either SUMO-2 (left) or SUMO-1 (right), shown as ribbons. SENP2 catalytic residues are shown in bond representation, as is the isopeptide bond between lysine and the SUMO diglycine motif. (b) Stereo representation of the interaction between the SUMO-1 C-terminal tail (yellow), SENP2 (blue) and the consensus residues of RanGAP1 (magenta), with interacting residues labeled and shown in bond representation. Red dashed lines denote putative hydrogen bonds. (c) Surface representation of SENP2 in complex with the consensus residues of RanGAP1 conjugated to the SUMO-1 diglycine motif. SUMO-1 C-terminal residues (yellow) and RanGAP1 consensus motif (magenta) are shown as sticks. (d) Stereo view of Ubc9 (SUMO E2, yellow) active site in complex with RanGAP1–SUMO-1 (PDB 1Z5S)^29, depicted as in b. (e) Simulated annealing omit map contoured at 1.2 , covering the isopeptide bond and selected active site residues in the SENP2–RanGAP1–SUMO-1 structure.
