Figure 5.

The K372-E380 contact is required for GMPPNP-dependent stable dimer formation. The purified cytoplasmic domains of the indicated ATL2 variants (30 µM) were incubated with no nucleotide (−), 5 mM GDP, or 2 mM GMPPNP for 30 min at RT. Thereafter, samples were resolved on a Superdex 200 column. The Coomassie-stained proteins (∼60 kD) present in monomer (∼70 kD) and dimer peak (∼150 kD) positions from each column run are shown after SDS-PAGE. Also shown is a surface rendering of pre- and postfusion dimer conformers with K372 and E380 highlighted in blue and red, respectively. Models were drawn in PyMOL from Protein Data Bank no. 3QOF and 3QNU.
