Figure 2. Interface between the Skap-hom PH and DM Domains
(A) The PH domain is shown in red and the DM domain in blue and green as in Figure 1C. Salt bridges are indicated by dashed lines. Note the helical conformation of the β1-β2 loop (residues Arg127–Phe135) and the insertion of PH domain residues Phe132 and Leu133 into a hydrophobic pocket on the DM domain.
(B) Stereo representation of the DM domain showing the side chains of all residues, with salt bridges highlighted. Representative charged residues are labeled.
(C) View of one subunit of the DM domain showing the hydrophobic and charged residues in the dimerization interface.
(D) Superposition of the Skap-hom DM (green and blue) and the dimerization domain of nuclear export protein Nep/Ns2 of influenza A (magenta) (Akarsu et al., 2003), which shares a similar overall topology but no clear sequence relationship.
