Figure 1. Structure of the ARL2-GTP-BART Complex
(A) A stereo view of the ARL2-GTP-BART complex. ARL2 is colored in yellow with the N-terminal α helix in cyan and the switch I, switch II, and inter-switch regions in magenta, orange, and blue, respectively. The bound GTP is shown with a ball-and-stick model and the Mg^2+ ion in a green sphere. BART is colored in green with the secondary structures labeled.
(B) A stereo view of a representative difference Fourier Fo-Fc map (2σ contour level) in the interaction interface of the ARL2-BART complex in the region of helix α1 of ARL2 and helix α4 of BART.
(C) Superposition of ARL2-GTP in the ARL2-GTP-BART (red) and ARL2-GTP-PDEδ complexes (blue) and ARL3-GDP (yellow) showing the overall conformational differences.
(D) Superposition of the crystal structure of BART in the ARL2-GTP-BART complex (green) and the NMR solution structure of BART alone (yellow) showing the overall conformational differences.
