Figure 3. Structures of the Peroxisomal Import Receptor Pex5p(C) in the Presence and in the Absence of the Cargo mSCP2
Color coding for Pex5p(C) is as follows: TPR1-TPR3, cyan; TPR4, green; TPR5-TPR7, blue; 7C loop, connecting TPR7 and the C-terminal helical bundle, red; and C terminus, maroon. Color coding for mSCP2 is as follows: core domain, yellow; and C terminus including PTS1 motif, orange. The orientation of the receptor in (A) and (C) is identical. The ribbon of the Pex5p(C)/mSCP2 complex in (B) has been rotated by 60° around a horizontal axis within the paper plane with respect to the orientation in (A), to illustrate the mode of mSCP2 binding to the receptor. (D) Superimposed Pex5p(C) receptor structures in the presence and in the absence of mSCP2. The colors of the trace of the cargo-loaded conformation are as in (A)–(C), except that the conformational hinge regions are colored in orange. The trace of the apo-Pex5p(C) structure is in gray, except for the 7C loop, which is colored in faint red. The coordinates of TPR segments 1–4 were used for structural superposition using the program SSM (Krissinel and Henrick, 2004) (rmsd = 0.78 Å for 164 common residues). The largest structural deviations of up to 8 Å are observed at the 7C loop and adjacent regions and are indicated by a red arrow.
