Figure 3. Structure of NEMO[CoZi] in Complex with Diubiquitin
(A and B) Overall structure of the NEMO[CoZi]●diubiquitin complex in two orthogonal views. The two chains of NEMO are colored in green and violet; Ub[distal] is shown in orange, and Ub[proximal] in gold.
(C and D) Open-book representation of NEMO UBAN motif recognition of distal and proximal ubiquitin moities. In (C), residues from Ub[distal] (orange) and Ub[proximal] (gold) that interact with the NEMO UBAN motif are labeled on the diubiquitin surface, indicating two mutually exclusive binding surfaces. (D) shows a surface representation of NEMO UBAN motif colored according to the interaction partner, Ub[distal] (orange) and Ub[proximal] (gold) and both (yellow). Residues involved in the interaction are labeled.
(E and F) Open-book representations of the NEMO[CoZi]●diubiquitin complex. The surfaces of linear diubiquitin (E) and NEMO[CoZi] (F) are colored according to their electrostatic surface potential (blue, positive; red, negative). In (F), the bound diubiquitin is drawn as a transparent ribbon model; Ub[distal] in orange and Ub[proximal] in gold.
(G and I) Stereo views of the interactions of the Ub[distal] (G) and Ub[proximal] (I) with the NEMO UBAN motif colored as in (A). Interacting residues are shown as sticks. Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are indicated as blue dashed lines.
(H and J) Schematic diagrams of the interactions of Ub[distal] (H) and Ub[proximal] (J) with the NEMO UBAN motif. The two chains of NEMO are shown in green and violet, and Ub[distal] and Ub[proximal] in orange and gold, respectively. Dashed orange and yellow lines indicate hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, respectively. Hydrophobic interactions are shown as dashed red lines. Residues in the NEMO UBAN domain whose mutations are found in ectodermal dysplasia (D304, E308, and R312) are circled in red.
