Fig. 4. Interactions of YscV, YscX, and YscY.

Fig. 4

One YscVC protomer is highlighted (orange surface) within the nonameric ring (gray surface). The cartoon representation of YscVC is divided into the four subdomains: SD1 (red, residues 372–438 and 493–513), SD2 (yellow, residues 439–492), SD3 (green, residues 514–600), and SD4 (blue, residues 601–704). For clarity, YscX (cyan) and YscY (dark red) are shown only for this heterotrimer and are depicted as ribbon in (bd). a The overall structure of the heterotrimer within the assembly shows that all interactions, except for the insertion of YscX’s C-terminus, are confined within one heterotrimer, i.e., YscY does not interact with a neighboring YscV subunit. b YscY interacts with SD4 via the loop of its first TPR (site A) and c with SD2 via the face of its C-terminal TPR (site B). d In chains FB, GB, KB, and LB, YscX exhibits density for an extended N-terminus which binds to SD1 and SD2 via a conserved 46RLYP49 motif (site C). Note that the exact positions of the side chains could not be determined at this resolution and are only included for completeness. e The C-terminus of YscX is inserted into the SD4–SD4 cleft. Both involved YscVC subunits are shown as cartoon colored by subdomain. YscX is shown as ribbon with sidechains starting from L118.
