Figure 2: The EPNR ENTH Delta-alpha-0–Vti1b H[abc] domain complex. a, The complex is shown, with Vti1b coloured dark green to pale green (N to C) and EPNR coloured pale pink to dark pink (N to C). Enlarged views are shown of key residues in the binding interface. The putative lipid binding helix 0 of EPNR is shown in grey. The proposed orientation of the remaining portions of Vti1b and EPNR are indicated by dotted lines. Charge-swap mutations are boxed. b, Surface representations of the complex, with each rotated by 90 degrees to show the 'footprint' of interaction coloured green on Vti1b H[abc] and pink on EPNR ENTH. C ribbons and side chains participating in the interaction are shown through the different surfaces. Mutated residues that have been demonstrated to affect binding are boxed. c, Structure-based sequence alignment of the H[abc] domains of mouse Vti1b, mouse Vti1a and yeast Vti1 (with conserved residues boxed in green), and of human EPNR ENTH domain with yeast Ent3 (with conserved residues shown in pink). Residues in which mutation abolishes binding between Vti1b and EPNR are marked with an asterisk. Residues that have significant roles in the binding interface are indicated by a triangle.
