FIGURE 6. Structural comparison of Atg3 with canonical E2s bound to their targets. A, ribbon diagram of Atg3. Color coding is as described in the legend to Fig. 1B. The side chain of Cys-234 and a sulfate ion observed near Cys-234 are shown with stick models. B, ribbon diagram of Ubc12 bound to the Ubl domain of UBA3, a subunit of the E1 for NEDD8 (Protein Data Bank code 1Y8X). Conserved -helices and -strands in Atg3 and Ubc12 are colored red and cyan, respectively. The side chain of Cys-111 is shown with a stick model. C, ribbon diagram of SUMO-RanGAP1 conjugate bound to Ubc9 (Protein Data Bank code 1Z5S). Although Nup358, an E3 enzyme, is also bound to this complex, the protein is not shown in this figure. Gly-97 of SUMO and the side chains of Ubc9 Cys-93 and RanGAP1 Lys-524 are shown with stick models. The figure was prepared using PyMOL. Conserved -helices and -strands in Atg3 and Ubc9 are colored red and cyan, respectively.
