A first possible model for S100 disulfide-crosslinked homodimers. (a) Rosetta-based modeling of the S100A4 homodimer (PDB entry 2q91; Malashkevich et al., 2008View full citation) in the RAGE-bound S100A6 conformation yields a disulfide-crosslinked dimer through a Cys86–Cys86 linkage. The structure of the noncovalent S100A4 homodimer (PDB entry 2q91) is shown as light blue cartoon for comparison. (b) Rosetta-based modeling of an S100B homodimer (PDB entry 3d0y; Ostendorp et al., 2011View full citation) in the RAGE-bound S100A6 conformation yields a disulfide-crosslinked dimer through Cys85–Cys85 linkage. The structure of the non­covalent S100B homodimer (PDB entry 3d0y) is shown as a light green cartoon for comparison. (c, d) Zoom on the interface within the covalent S100A4 and S100B homodimers. In both cases, a network of aromatic and aliphatic residues on helices H1 and H4 maintains the interface through hydrophobic interactions.
