Figure 9. Conformational differences among concave TPR grooves in TPR domains. To compare conformation and their binding residues in TPR domains, the NrfG structure (orange) was superimposed onto the corresponding CHIP (green) and HOP TPR1 (purple helices) with RMSDs of 2.31 Å and 2.07 Å, respectively. The corresponding bound residues in the compared TPR domains are represented in ball-and-stick fashion. These comparisons show that the highly conserved Asn and Lys residues in HOP and CHIP are mainly substituted by hydrophobic residues (Ala, Leu) in NrfG. (A) The residues Glu81, Ala112, Tyr119, and Thr145 of NrfG correspond to Asn 35, Asn 66, Lys 73, Lys96 of CHIP [noted in the Fig. 5(A)], the residues of which are shown. (B) The residues Ala77, Glu81, Ala112, Tyr119, Thr145, and Leu149 of NrfG correspond to Lys8, Asn12, Asn43, Lys50, Lys73, and Arg77 of HOP TPR1 [noted in the Fig. 5(B)], the residues of which are shown.
