Figure 1 Structure of the complete 270 kDa Sulfolobus solfataricus exosome. (A) Two views of the complex, with Rrp41 in blue, Rrp42 in green and Rrp4 in yellow. Manganese ions are shown in cyan. The views are rotated by 90° around the horizontal axis. This figure and all others representing structures were generated with the program PYMOL (http://pymol.sourceforge.net, Warren L. DeLano). (B) View of the S. solfataricus exosome (Rrp4 in yellow, and Rrp41 and Rrp42 in light grey) superposed on the A. fulgidus exosome using the RNase PH cores (Rrp4 in red, Rrp41 and Rrp42 in dark grey). The structures are viewed as in (A), left. The three domains of Rrp4 (N-terminal, S1 and KH) are indicated. (C) View of the S. solfataricus exosome superposed on the human exosome using the RNase PH cores (light grey for S. solfataricus and dark grey for human RNase PH). Ss-Rrp4 is shown in yellow, Hs-Rrp40 in magenta, Hs-Rrp4 in green and Hs-Csl4 in pink. Csl4, cep1 synthetic lethality; Hs, Homo sapiens; Rrp, ribosomal RNA processing factor; Ss, Sulfolobus solfatarious.
