Figure 2. Detailed Structural Analysis of Nup85 and Seh1
(A) A ribbon representation of the Nup85 structure is shown in rainbow colors along the polypeptide chain from the N to the C terminus. The N-terminal domain invasion motif (DIM), the α-helical solenoid domain, and their secondary structure elements are indicated.
(B) The structure of the Seh1•Nup85 heterodimer. The Nup85^DIM (magenta), the Nup85 α-helical solenoid domain (blue), the Nup85 αQ-αR connector (red), the Seh1 β propeller (yellow), the disordered Seh1 5CD loop (gray dots), and the Seh1 2CD loop (orange) are indicated; a 90° rotated view is shown on the right. Dotted lines represent disordered regions.
(C) Schematic representation of the Seh1•Nup85 interaction. The Seh1 2CD loop, the Nup85 αQ-αR connector, and the DIM region are highlighted in orange, red, and pink, respectively.
(D) The β propeller domain of Seh1 in complex with the Nup85^DIM. Seh1 is shown in yellow, and the six blades are indicated. The Nup85^DIM contributes one strand to blade 6 and three strands to blade 7, completing the β propeller.
(E) Schematic representation of the Seh1 β propeller and its interaction with the Nup85^DIM.
