Figure 1 Structure of the ARF1:ArfBD complex. (A) A cartoon diagram of the ARF1:ArfBD complex is shown in two distinct orientations. ARF1 is shown in grey with the 1 helix and switch I region in light and dark blue, respectively, the interswitch region in green and the switch II region in red. The Mg.GTP ligand is shown as a grey stick model. ArfBD is shown in white with its 5' region ( 5' strand plus 5'– 6' loop) in pink, the 1' helix in orange and the Cter helix in yellow. Tyr999 and Ile1053 of ArfBD are shown as stick models. The two adjacent contact areas of the ARF1:ArfBD complex interface are delineated by black boxes on the right-hand view. (B) Detailed view of the interface between the Cter helix and the PH domain of ArfBD. (C–F) Detailed views of the ARF1:ArfBD interface. The secondary structures are shown as ribbons and the residues as sticks. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by dashed lines. (C) The 5' region of ArfBD (pink) lies between the interswitch (green) and switch I (blue) regions of ARF1 centred on Tyr999. (D) The network of water-mediated interactions made between Asp996 of the 5' region (in pink) of ArfBD and ARF1. (E) The switch I (blue) region of ARF1 interacts with the 5' region (pink) and the 1' helix (orange) of ArfBD. (F) The Cter helix (yellow) of ArfBD is grasped between the switch II (red) and the interswitch/switch I (green/blue) regions of ARF1.
