Fig. 2

a Overview of the MCP interaction network. Two penton MCPs (Pen1 and Pen2) are displayed. b, c Three types of MCP-MCP interactions among hexons. d Interactions between penton MCPs and hexon MCPs. e Enlarged view of the boxed region in d, showing the N-terminus of the penton MCP inserting into a hydrophobic groove (inset). The hydrophobic residues are highlighted by side chain showing (inset). f Comparison of buttress domains of hexon and penton MCPs. The MCP tower and floor regions are labeled, respectively. g The MCP-SCP interactions in pentons and hexons. h Overview of triplexes and MCPs. i, j Superimposition of triplexes Ta-Te by aligning their main bodies, showing the Tri1 N-anchor of Ta rotated ~120° counterclockwise.
