Figure 3: Surface features of the Sec23/24 complex a, Molecular surface coloured according to electrostatic potential50: negative potential is red and positive potential blue. Sar1 is drawn as a backbone tube in magenta. The three views are successive 90° rotations around a vertical axis. In the left image, the membrane-proximal surface faces forwards. b, Surface of Sec23/24 coloured according to sequence conservation of the underlying residues in an alignment of Sec23 sequences from six organisms (human Sec23A, Drosophila melanogaster, Neurospora crassa, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Sec24 sequences from four organisms (human Sec24A, S. pombe, A. thaliana and S. cerevisiae). Labels I, II and III indicate three highly conserved patches (see text for details). The orientations are the same as in a, with Sar1 omitted.
