Figure 4. Cks1 anion-binding site and glutamine tail. (a) Glu106 and Tyr107 residues (magenta bonds and polar atoms colored spheres) within the C-terminal helix a3 (not present in other Cks structures) bind to the five invariant residues (Arg33, Arg42, Arg102, Ser82 and Trp85, orange bonds) forming the anion-binding site located at the dimer interface of two b-interchanged Cks1 dimers (yellow and blue subunits). In addition, Arg111 in helix a3 stacks against Tyr30 in b1 (green bonds in this interdimer interface). (b) Electron-density map and model for the ordered position of the glutamine tail. Stereo pair of the 3 Å resolution 2F[o]-F[c] electron-density maps, contoured at 1.2s, showing the first four glutamine residues, Gln118-Gln121, out of the 16 present in the Cks1 glutamine tail.
