Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. P. abyssi exosome RNA recognition cleft. Rrp41 and Rrp42 subunits are colored in blue and light brown, respectively. Heterodimers forming the hexameric ring are assigned 1 to 3 and numbers in parentheses identify residues from the same dimer. a, schematic representation of the N1 to N5 binding sites. Residues involved in RNA interaction are labeled and shown in sticks. Residues mutated in this work are indicated with a colored star. b, schematic representation showing the RNA-exosome interactions in detail. c, stereo view of the N1 nucleotide binding site. The |F[o]| - |F[c]| electron density map contoured at 4 is superposed on the solvent atoms.
