Figure 5. The N-terminal HEAT Repeats of Cand1 Interact with a Conserved Surface Cleft of the Cul1 CTD and Bury the Cul1 Neddylation Site Lysine Residue(A) Interactions between the first two Cand1 HEAT repeats and the Cul1 CTD surface cleft. The molecular surfaces of Cul1 and Roc1 are colored in green and red. Surfaces of conserved Cul1 residues are shown in yellow. Important structural elements of the proteins are labeled.(B) Closeup view of the interfaces among the Cul1 WH-B domain, Cand1's first HEAT repeat, and the Roc1 RING domain. Residues interacting with Cul1 Lys720, as well as several surrounding amino acids, are shown.(C) Zoomed-out view of (B) with surface representation. The ε-amino group of the Cul1 Lys720 residue is completely buried and invisible. Cul1 residues conserved among all human cullins are colored in yellow. The surface of three such conserved Cul1 residues located on the opposite side of the Cul1 WH-B domain where the Cand1-interacting surface cleft is found are indicated. This surface area represents a potential site on the Cul1 CTD for interacting with additional regulatory factors.
