a Cartoon representation of YscX (cyan) and YscY (red). YscX binds to YscY at two independent sites. b, c Surface hydrophobicity gradient of YscY shown from hydrophobic (red) to hydrophilic (white) using the normalized consensus hydrophobicity scale65. b YscX binds the groove of the TPR protein YscY via the hydrophobic side of a short amphipathic helix. c Two leucine-rich helices of YscX interact with the largely hydrophobic surface of the N-terminal TPR in YscY. d Superposition of YscX50:YscY (cyan and red) and YscX32:YscY (blue and pink) models. The alignment was calculated using the Cα atoms of YscY. Zoom-in shows the YscX N-terminus before α1 for both structures when aligned using the Cα atoms of YscX.
