Figure 2. Structure of Myristoylated yARF1 and Comparisons to Related Structures
(A) Overlap of 15 accepted myr(+)-yARF1·GDP structures out of 100 trials. GDP is shown in blue and myristoyl is in purple.
(B) The myristoyl binding pocket with leucines shown in red, isoleucines in blue, tyrosines in cyan, and myristoyl in purple.
(C) The myristoyl binding pocket lies under the N-terminal amphiphilic helix in the myr(−)-hARF·GDP structure (Protein Data Bank ID code 1hur).
(D) The interstrand loop λ3 clashes with the myristoyl chain in the GTP-bound conformation but not in the GDP-bound conformation. The backbone of myr(+)-yARF1·GDP is shown in ivory, myr(−)-hARF1·GDP in blue, and hARF1Δ17·GTP in green. λ3 of all molecules is shown in red, and myristoyl is shown in purple.
