Figure 5. The MIU:Ub Complex Resembles the UIM:Ub Complex
(A) Structures of the Rabex-5-MIU:Ub (yellow and green) and the Vps27-UIM:Ub (red and green) complexes.
(B) 2F[obs] − 1F[calc] difference electron density contoured at the 1σ level around residue Ala58[Rbx] (yellow) and residues Ile44[Ub] and Val70[Ub] (green).
(C) Interactions between Ub (green) and MIU (yellow). Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are indicated by dashed black lines.
(D) Ub binding residues of the MIU of Rabex-5 (yellow) and of the UIM of Vps27 (red). Models of the RZF-MIU:Ub complex and the Vps27-UIM:Ub complex (Swanson et al., 2003) were superimposed based on residues 5–70 of the Ub molecules. Side chains involved in interaction between MIU (yellow)/UIM (red) and Ub are shown in stick representation.
