Figure 2. The NEMO-Ub2 complex has a 2:1 stoichiometry in solution.

Figure 2

(a) The 2:1 stoichiometry of the NEMO-Ub2 complex is supported by comparison of the SAXS experimental curves with theoretical curves back-calculated from either the 2:2 NEMO-Ub2 co-crystal structure (PDB 2ZVO, 2:2) or a 2:1 complex, where one Ub2 was removed from the crystal structure. (b) The calculated MWs in the table show that independent of the mixing ratio of NEMOUBAN and Ub2 a 2:1 complex is formed, and (c) the 2:1 ratio is further supported by the shape of the envelope of ab initio modeling with DAMMIF (shown in yellow). (d) NMR analysis of the NEMOUBAN-linUb2 interaction. 1H,15N TROSY NMR spectrum of 100 μM 15N-labeled NEMO in the absence (black) or presence of Ub2 (red) in a 2:1 (NEMOUBAN:Ub2) ratio. Amides, which disappear upon Ub2 addition are indicated. (e) Mapping of the backbone amides, which disappear upon linUb2 addition in panel d onto the NEMOUBAN surface from the crystal structure (PDB 2ZVO).
