Fig. 5. Intermolecular interfaces in KCTD5 assemblies. (a) Potential surfaces of individual KCTD subunit N- and C-modules. Indicated in red are acidic Asp83, Asp93, Asp95, Asp116, Glu124, Glu165–Glu167, Glu196, Asp197, Glu182, and Glu208; basic residues Arg107, Lys110, and Lys115 are indicated in blue. Gly51, Leu56, Thr57, Thr61, Leu91, Gly100, Asn114, and Gln183 are noted in gray. (b) Secondary structural elements at the interface of adjacent subunits in the N-module viewed from the center of the assembly. α-Helices and β-strands are depicted as cylinders and arrows, respectively. The L1–L4 segments of the BTB fold are shown in colors as per Fig. 2. Inset presents an expanded view of the boxed area. Residues that form interfaces are shown in ball-and-stick in yellow (subunit 1) and gray (subunit 2). H-bonds (2.6–3.4 Å) are indicated with dotted lines. Asp116 (subunit 1) and Lys115 (subunit 2) interact via main-chain atoms, and their side chains are omitted for clarity. H-bond pairs and distances are noted in further detail in Fig. S2a. (c) Secondary structural elements at the interface of adjacent subunits in the C-module viewed from the center of the assembly as in (b). Inset presents an expanded view of the boxed area as in (b). H-bond pairs and distances are noted in further detail in Fig. S2b.
