Figure 5. Crystal Structure of the N50/C36 Complex
(A) Ribbon diagram of the N50/C36 complex. The N termini of the N50 (red) and C36 (green) chains are indicated.
(B) Conserved grooves on the surface of the N50 coiled-coil trimer. The C36 peptides drawn as an atomic model are shown against a surface representation of the N50 trimer. The view is in approximately the same orientation as in (A). The solvent-accessible surface is colored according to the local electrostatic potential; colors range from dark blue, representing the most positive area, to deep red, representing the most negative area.
(C) Cross-section of the N50/C36 complex in the Thr923 layer showing “x-like” packing of side chains that project simultaneously toward the 3-fold axis. The 2F[o] − F[c] electron density map contoured at 1.5σ is shown with the refined molecular model.
(D) Cross-section of the N50/C36 complex in the Ser919–Leu920 layer showing “y-like” packing of alternating small and large side chains in a hexagonal arrangement. Figure 5.
