Fig. 2. Structure of the cpSRP43/L18p complex. (A) LHCP topology with three transmembrane helices (TM1 to 3). The sequence of the L18 region is given for the major LHCP, Lhcb1 from Pisum sativum, which was used in this study (red, the DPLG motif is underlined). TM3 starts immediately after the L18 region. (B) Typical isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiment of the cpSRP43 interaction with L18p. (C) Ribbon representation of cpSRP43 (blue) with bound L18p (as a ball-and-stick model, gray). The N- and C-termini are indicated. (D) Surface representation of the cpSRP43/L18p complex. The peptide (labeled by residue numbers) binds in the hydrophobic groove 1. Four residues at the N terminus and two residues at the C terminus are not resolved.
