Fig. 2. Conserved structural features of ES27L are instrumental in Ebp1 binding.

Fig. 2

a Three distinct interaction sites between Ebp1 and the consensus sequences cs1 and cs2 mediate ES27L binding. The atomic models for Ebp1 and ES27L are superposed to the cryo-EM density after 3-body multibody refinement. Density was faded out toward the Ebp1–ribosome contact, which is better resolved in the reconstruction from 2-body multibody refinement. View is the same as in Fig. 1a left panel and as indicated by the small representation in the corner. b Consensus sequences (cs) of ES27L involved in Ebp1 binding. Conserved mismatches within cs1 are highlighted. c, d Structural details of ES27L interaction of the GA mismatch at cs1 with the Ebp1 P-loop structure (δ+: partial positive charge) following helix α2 (c), and of the GU wobble with Ebp1 helix α1 (d). Putative protein–RNA interactions are indicated by arrows. e Interactions at cs2 with the lysine-rich motif (KRM) within the Ebp1-specific C-terminal helix α C. The putative GG cross-strand purine stack is indicated by parallel lines.
