Extended Data Fig. 8. Tubulin-TRiC interactions.

Extended Data Fig. 8

For all panels, tubulin is coloured by domain: N-terminal domain (blue), TBD (crimson), and C-terminal domain (dark green). Green dashes indicate van der Waals contacts; blue dashes indicate hydrogen bonds. TRiC structural features labelled are apical domain loop (AL), stem-loop (SL), C-terminus (CT) and helix XX). (a) CCT8 interacts with tubulin N-terminus (Arg2, Glu53, Asp74) using its stem-loop (His59, Leu60) and intermediate domain (Arg314, Asn316). (b) CCT6 contacts tubulin N-terminal α4 (Glu125) and α5 (Glu157, Glu158, Tyr159) through a β-sheet of the apical domain. Additionally, CCT6 stem-loop (Ala51) and C-terminus (Met526) interact with tubulin N- and C-termini, along with CCT3 stem-loop (Met54). (c) Tubulin C-terminus (Phe402, Trp405) interacts with CCT3 stem-loop, helix α3 from equatorial domain (Glu89), and intermediate domain. (d) CCT1 apical domain loop (Lys245) and stem-loop (Asp358) form few tubulin contacts (Phe260, Pro261), involving also CCT3 apical domain loop and helix α3.
