FIGURE 1. Defining the minimal fragment of Borealin necessary to bind Survivin and the Survivin interaction surface. A, aligned primary sequences of the Borealin N terminus. The yellow bars indicate sequences either strongly predicted (thicker bar) or weakly predicted (thinner bar) to form a coiled-coil structure. Details are shown in supplemental Fig. S1. Boundary residues for the truncation constructs are indicated above the sequences. B, summary of fragment copurification studies. Interactions were scored based on whether Borealin could be detected readily by Coomassie Blue staining (+), only by Western blotting ((+)), or by neither method (-) (see "Experimental Procedures"). n.d., not determined. C, inferred interaction surface (teal) of Borealin-(20-78) mapped onto the previously reported dimeric Survivin structure (Protein Data Bank code 1F3H) (4). The putative interaction surface spans the homodimer interface.
