Figure 4.
Fig. 4. The predicted interaction of A20 with ubiquitin. (a and b) Mapping of conserved residues on the A20 surface. The location of the active site is circled. (c) Ribbon diagram of A20 with modeled ubiquitins. The locations of the ubiquitin based on the HAUSP–ubiquitin and Yuh1–ubiquitin complexes are shown in gray and orange, respectively. The location of the ubiquitin after adjustment to avoid steric clash is shown in yellow. (d) Surface presentation of A20 shown in complex with the modeled ubiquitin in a ribbon diagram. The active site is circled. (e) Electrostatic surface presentation of A20 shown in complex with the modeled ubiquitin in a ribbon diagram. The ubiquitin-binding site is mostly negatively charged. (f and g) The model of the A20–ubiquitin complex shown with A20 in a ribbon diagram and the ubiquitin in an electrostatic surface representation. The positive electrostatic potential of the side of ubiquitin in contact with A20 is shown. (h) The proposed oxyanion hole construction of A20 by the main-chain amides of Cys103, Gly101, and Asp100. The corresponding regions in Yuh1 and HAUSP are superimposed and shown.
