Figure 1.
Figure 1: Mapping the binding sites on the Vti1b H[abc] domain and the EPNR ENTH Delta-alpha-0 domain on their isolated structures. a, b, Ribbon diagram showing the three-helix bundle (H[abc] domain) of uncomplexed Vti1b (a, light green) and of uncomplexed EPNR ENTH 0 (b, pale pink). Surface views are shown in the same orientations. Mutated residues on both representations are coloured green if they affected binding to EPNR, pink if they affected binding to Vti1b H[abc] and grey-blue if there was no effect (surface views only). c–f, Pull-down experiments detecting the binding of EPNR ENTH–Myc constructs to GST–Vti1b by western blotting for the Myc tag. c, The effect of mutations in GST–Vti1b on their binding of wild-type EPNR ENTH–Myc. d, e, The effect of point (d) and helix-deletion (e) mutations in EPNR ENTH–Myc on their binding to wild-type GST–Vti1b. f, The effect of the charge-swap mutations EPNR(R146E) and Vti1b(E23R) introduced on the basis of the complex structure.
