Extended Data Figure 2

a, Structure-based sequence alignment of HsPARKIN from human (top), RnPARKIN (middle) and Pediculus humanus corporis (PhPARKIN, bottom). The domains are indicated in boxes coloured according to structural figures. HsPARKIN and PhPARKIN are 45% identical within their crystallized constructs. Secondary structure elements are shown for HsPARKIN Ubl domain (PDB 1IYF (ref. 36)) and for HsPARKIN core domain (4BM9 (ref. 14)). Red asterisks denote the phospho-Ser65 ubiquitin binding pocket, and yellow spheres the residues contacting phosphoUb (see Fig. 2). A black asterisk denotes the catalytic Cys in RING2. b, Stereo representation of the asymmetric unit of PhPARKIN–pUb crystals, showing 2|Fo| − |Fc| electron density at 1σ, in blue for PhPARKIN and in green for phosphoUb. c, Electron density detail, shown as in b, zooming in on phosphoUb phospho-Ser65, in stereo representation. d, Superposition of the two PhPARKIN–pUb complexes in the asymmetric unit, coloured as in Fig. 1. The r.m.s.d. is 0.76 Å. Electron density is missing for parts of the flexible linker between IBR and RING2. e, Superposition of available PARKIN structures (PDB 4BM9 (ref. 14); 4I1H (ref. 15); 4K95 (ref. 16) and two PhPARKIN–pUb complexes) in different colours, showing similar domain positions with respect to each other, with the exception of the IBR domain. Only the structure of full-length RnPARKIN16 contains the Ubl domain.
