Figure 3.
(a) Binding of TAB2 NZF to Lys63-linked and linear (Lin) di- and tetraubiquitin. (b) Close-up of the Lys63 linkage showing the position of Met1 at 10.8 Å distance. (c) Binding of TAB2 NZF to Lys63- and Lys48-linked di- and tetraubiquitin. (d) Comparison of TAB2–Lys63-diubiquitin and hHR23A UBA2–Lys48-diubiquitin (PDB 1ZO6 (ref. 8)). (e) Superposition of the distal ubiquitin moieties (dark green) from d, with TAB2 shown. Because of the flexible isopeptide linker, the proximal ubiquitin of Lys48-diubiquitin (light green) can rotate to adopt a similar conformation as Lys63-diubiquitin on TAB2 (see also Supplementary Fig. 6).
