Figure EV2. Biophysical analysis of the interaction between a polyalanine peptide and the SCCH domains of the canonical E1 ubiquitin-like activating enzymes.

Figure EV2

(A) AlphaFold models of UBA6 and UBA7 and the crystal structures of UBA1, UBA2 and UBA3 are shown. The structures were aligned and electrostatic potential was calculated as described in the methods. The yellow arrows indicate the location of the groove within the SCCH domains. UBA6, UBA1 and UBA7 form an extended lobe within the SCCH, which is missing in UBA2 and UBA3. The groove in UBA7 is covered and do not exist in UBA2 and UBA3. The grooves in UBA1 and UBA6 are highly similar in terms of structure but present significantly different electro potential surfaces. The gradient from negative (red) to positive (blue) charge is shown. The figure was prepared by PyMol. (B) Microscale thermophoresis interaction analysis of cy5-7Ala-peptide against UBA6 or UBA1 SCCH domain. The dose-response curve of cy5-7Ala-peptide titrated against increasing concentrations of the SCCH domain is presented. Results are mean ± s.e.m. n = 4 biological replicates, Two-way ANOVA, Sidak’s test. ****P < 0.0001.
