Arginine-stacking interactions stabilize a tetrameric FIP2 assembly. (a) The FIP2 tetramer in the lattice that is related by a twofold crystallographic axis. The axis runs through the middle of a stack of arginine residues that enable oligomerization into a four-helix bundle. (b) A view of the eight arginine residues from the four α-helices. The view is a close-up of the transparent ellipse in (a). (c) A section of the electron density (2Fo − Fc, 1.5σ) within the region comprising the arginine-stacking interactions. |
