Figure 3. Stereo view of the pentamer-pentamer interface and the electrostatic potential at the molecular surface. (A) Stereo view of the pentamer-pentamer interface in human NPM-core (between monomers A and F). Black dotted lines denote hydrogen bonds. Highly similar interactions are repeated five times in a decamer. (B) Pentamer-pentamer interface of Xenopus NO38-core. Black dotted lines denote hydrogen bonds, while a red ball represents a water molecule. (C) Pentamer-pentamer interface of Xenopus nucleoplasmin (Np)-core. Black dotted lines denote hydrogen bonds, while red balls represent water molecules. (D) Stereo view of the region around the ARF binding loop (residues 100-117).[31] AKDE loop, GSGP loop, and the cluster of hydrophobic core-forming residues are represented by pink, light blue, and cyan colors, respectively. (E) The electrostatic potential at the molecular surface of human NPM-core, Xenopus NO38-core, and Xenopus nucleoplasmin-core. The views are down the twofold axis.
