Figure 5. Structural comparison of the monoubiquitin binding modes of the Ede1 UBA, Cue2 CUE^14 and Dsk2 UBA^13 domains. (a) A structure-guided multiple sequence alignment of the Ede1 UBA, Dsk2 UBA and Cue2 CUE domains. Residues in helical regions are shown in uppercase and in bold font for clarity. Residues constituting the hydrophobic cores of the respective domains are shaded in yellow, whereas those that interact with ubiquitin in the respective complexes are shaded in light blue. (b) Comparison of the Ede1 UBA domain–ubiquitin (light blue) and Dsk2 UBA domain–ubiquitin (purple) complexes following a best-fit superposition of the backbone atoms of residues 1–70 of ubiquitin. (c) Ribbon diagrams of the Ede1 UBA domain (light blue) and Cue2 CUE domain (magenta)–monoubiquitin complexes following a best-fit superposition of the polypeptide backbone encompassing residues 1–70 of ubiquitin.
