Figure 4.
Figure 4: The NS5A domain I dimer reveals potential interaction surfaces. a, Ribbon diagrams of three rotations of the domain I dimer. b, Surface-potential plots of the domain I dimer, with views corresponding to those shown in a. Analysis of images in a and b shows that the dimer creates a relatively flat, basic surface near the N terminus and a large groove between the two subdomain IB regions. c, Model of NS5A position relative to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The location of the conserved surface in Fig. 3b is indicated. Helices are from the recent structure of the NS5A N-terminal helix8.
