Figure 2.
Figure 2 (A) Side view of the SNX9 PX-BAR dimer structure ribbon diagram. BAR domains are shown in red, PX in blue, and the novel Yoke (Y) subdomain in yellow. N- and C-termini are labeled. (B) Top view of the SNX9 PX-BAR dimer structure. The domains are labeled. (C) Ribbon representation of SNX9 Yoke (Y) subdomain structure. The Yoke domain consists of two parts: Y[N] derived from amino-acid residues 214–250 and Y[C] from 375–390. Secondary structure elements are labeled. (D) Sequence alignment of human SNX9 (Q9Y5X1), SNX18 (AAH67860), and SNX30 (ABN09670) PX-BAR domains. The proteins represent a subfamily of PX-BAR SNXs. Secondary structure elements corresponding to the SNX9 structure are monitored. Coloring corresponds to that from panels A–C. Helices are labeled with H, -strands with S, and P denotes a proline-rich motif. The amino-acid residues involved in the dimerization are labeled (+, hydrophobic bar–bar contacts; ^*, H-bond bar–bar contacts), as well as residues involved in interdomain interaction (§, hydrophobic bar-px:y contacts; &, H-bonds bar-px:y contacts). Symbols of consensus sequence are: 2, E/Q; 3, T/S; 4, K/R; 5, Y/F; and 6, hydrophobic.
