Figure 2. Location of M84, M102 and M118 at the NTF2 dimerization interface. An illustration of the side-chains protruding into the interaction interface between NTF2 chains in the dimer. Methionine residues 84, 102 and 118 are all important components of the hydrophobic centre of the interaction interface. Hydrophobic residues are in grey, acidic residues in red, basic residues in blue and amphipolar residues in white. Also shown are the corresponding side-chains in the putative structures (see Suyama et al.[24]) of TAP1 and NXT1. Note that neither TAP1 nor NXT1 contains the equivalent of His100 in NTF2.
