Fig. 7. Structural features of the IR scaffold.

Fig. 7

a An overall view of the IR scaffold. b An overall view on inter-subunit interface between subunit 1 (S1) and subunit 2 (S2). c A close-up view on the cytoplasmic side of the interface between S1 and S2. Given the spatial gap in between, Nup205 of S1 may not directly interact with Nup93-1 or Nup188 from S2. d The IR subunit is slightly tilted toward the cytoplasmic side. e The IR subunit is linked to the outer rings through the linker nucleoporins Nup93, NDC1, ALADIN, and Nup155-1. The IR subunit is connected in opposite directions to the outer rings. Such connection depends on the ALADIN–NDC1 hetero-dimer to fill up the vacancy between Nup155-1 and Nup93-2.
