Figure 3. Crystal Structure of the C44 Tetramer
(A) Lateral view of the C44 tetramer. Yellow van der Waals surfaces identify residues at the a positions, red surfaces identify residues at the d positions, and light-blue surfaces identify residues at the g positions. The N termini of helices A and B are indicated.
(B) Axial view of the C44 tetramer. The red van der Waals surfaces of the Ile1154(d) and Leu1182(d) side chains are depicted.
(C) Cross-section of the tetramer in the Ile1161(d) layer. The 1.70 Å 2F[o] − F[c] electron density map (contoured at 1.2σ) is shown with the refined molecular model.
(D) Helical wheel representation of residues 1153–1185 of the C44 tetramer. Heptad-repeat positions are labeled a–g. The C44 helices interact through a previously uncharacterized type of packing interaction between the a, d, and g side chains (colored green). Figure 3.
