Figure Lengend Snippet: a , A stitched structural model of the AF-predicted K FL molecule. NL, neck linker; NC, neck coil; NCL, neck coil linker; FHA, forkhead-associated domain; P-Rich, proline-rich region. b , Domain architecture of KIF1C with the KIF1C stalk region highlighted below the main bar. c , The segmented cryo-EM density of FHF bound to a shorter KIF1C stalk (674–922, the dashed blue region), shown at a low-threshold contour level. d , AF model of HOOK3 residues 571–718 bound to KIF1C residues 722–840 (K S 722–840 ). Note that FTS, FHIP1B and HOOK3 (627–705) models from the cryo-EM structure are superposed on the HOOK3 571–718 –K S 722–840 prediction to give a composite structure. e , Expansion of AF model in d showing one copy of HOOK3 at the CC3–CC4 junction bound to one copy of K S 722–840 . The yellow dashes indicate crosslinks observed by XL-MS between the two proteins using DSSO crosslinker. f , A representation of a putative steric clash that would occur upon the SGD of KIF1C stalk latching onto the HOOK3 C terminus. H N , HOOK3 N terminus 1–450; K S , GST–KIF1C stalk (residues 642–922) and K S SGD , GST–SGD (residues 722–840). g , Input and bead samples from the pulldown experiment where strep-FH C F was used as bait. The key for the sample number above the gel is given in h . The experiment was repeated twice. h , Schematics of the included proteins and the presumed complexes formed. The yellow square shape in FH C F cartoons represents the strep tag, and the circle shape represents the bead.
Article Snippet: This was cut with AscI and NotI and then inserted into pFastBac-M13-8xHis-ZZ-LTLT-HOOK3-SNAPf, replacing HOOK3-SNAPf with HOOK3 followed by a stop codon and creating pFastBac-M13-8xHis-ZZ-LTLT-HOOK3 (Addgene 222289).
