CG MD simulation system with an ENTH-lattice‐coated membrane tubule. (a) A membrane tubule is shown in gray. Red lines connect CG sites. Selected CG sites are shown in sphere representation. H0 and hydrophobic contact sites V50 and V51 are shown in blue and white spheres, respectively. (b) Close-up of (a). (c) Close-up ribbon view of the ENTH tetramer in (b). Four ENTH domains are shown in red ribbons, while H0 helices are shown in thicker blue ribbons. Hydrophobic contact patches, V50 and V51, are shown as white spheres. (d) Bottom view of (c), with only a dimer unit shown. L6 and M10 are shown in cyan spheres. The orange and light blue arrows represent the measured EPR distance (~ 13 Å) for L6 and M10, respectively. (e) Bottom view of (c). Offset packing between two dimers that brings the I13 and V14 region of H0 in close proximity as highlighted with a yellow arrow. I13 and V14 are shown in sphere representation. This is indicated by an EPR distance profile of 15 Å for I13 and 10 Å for V14. These distances are shorter than would be expected for an antiparallel dimer pairing.
