Fig. 3. Two molecules of Nup205 and two molecules of Nup188 constitute the central components of the IR subunit.

Fig. 3

a A homo-dimer of Nup205 at the center of the IR subunit is flanked by two molecules of Nup188. The two Nup205 molecules contact each other via their C-terminal helices. b A side-by-side comparison of the structures of Nup188 and Nup205. The overall appearance and size are similar between Nup188 (left panel) and Nup205 (right panel). c A close-up view on the dimeric interface between Nup205 and Nup205′. The C-terminal helices α75/α78 from Nup205 stack against the corresponding helices from Nup205′. d A close-up view on the interface between Nup205 and Nup188. Three inter-helical surface loops from Nup188 and Nup205 are involved in the interactions.
