Structure of L27 heterotrimer.
A, schematic of the domain organization of rat Patj, human Pals1, and mouse Mals2. The dashed circle indicates the tripartite complex consisting of four L27 domains. The L27 domains of Patj (L27Patj), Pals1 ((L27N-L27C)Pals1), and Mals2 (L27Mals2) are shown in red, cyan, and gold, respectively. GuK, guanylate kinase. B, graphic representation of the overall structure of the heterotrimer colored as in A. Two α-helices formed by artificial linkers are not shown in the figure for clarity.
