Figure 4. Multimerization interfaces and contact maps for the CGL3 tetramer.

Figure 4

The tetramer interface is illustrated for each unique interface within the tetramer. Cartoon representations are shown on the left with the corresponding contact maps on the right. In the interest of simplicity, only residues involved in typical bonding are depicted, i.e. polar residues and charged residues taking part in electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic residues in non-bonded interactions, respectively. Accordingly, residues are colored by type (pale blue: hydrophobic; orange: polar; blue: basic; red: acidic). Further, only water molecules buried within the interface are shown (red spheres). Dashed lines: turquoise, strong hydrogen bonds; gray, weak hydrogen bonds. Contact maps to the right represent heat-maps for the sum of non-bonded contacts between residues with an arbitrary scale given to the right (red, strong contacting; white, weak contacting). Subunit A is represented on the ordinate of the heat maps. (a) interface A-B. (b) interface A-C. (c) interface A-D.
