Figure 6. Crystal Structure of Ubc9^*SUMO
(A) The Ubc9^*SUMO structure. Covalent linkage between Ubc9 Lys14 and the SUMO C terminus.
(B) The interface between Ubc9 and SUMO (H bonds: gray dotted lines, interface side chains as sticks).
(C) Superposition of Ubc9^*SUMO and E2-25K^*SUMO.
(D) Buried surface area between E2 and SUMO plotted against the sequences of Ubc9 and E2-25K.
(E) Model of the Ubc9^Δhairpin mutant. Deleted β-hairpin is in gray.
(F) Thioester formation for Ubc9^Δhairpin (670 nM) versus Ubc9^Δhairpin*SUMO (670 nM) assay as in Figure 3, with 260 nM Aos1-Uba2, 6.7 μM SUMO, and immunoblotting with α-Ubc9. Colors are as follows: blue Ubc9 (yellow catalytic Cys) with yellow SUMO, cyan E2-25K with pink SUMO.
