Figure 4. Binding of eL40 stabilises H89 to form the uL16 binding site.
(A) H89 is flexible in states I-II. Cryo-EM density map of Yvh1 is shown in purple; uL11 in grey. The mature conformation of H89 is shown in ribbon representation for comparison. (B) Atomic model of the interaction between eL40 and the tip of H89 and H91 (state IV). (C) Loading of uL16 induces a rotation of H38. The conformations of H38 in state III (wheat) compared with state IV (orange). (D) Conformation of H89 with eL40 and uL16 bound (state IV).
