(a) Ribbon diagram showing the crystal structure of CIDE-N homodimer of Fsp27. α and β represent the α-helices and β-sheets of the structure. Two interacting molecules are coloured in cyan and yellow, respectively. (b) The electrostatic surface of two interacting molecules. The blue, white and red shadings represent positively charged, neutral and negatively charged surface regions, respectively. (c) Interaction interface of Fsp27 CIDE-N homodimer. Residues in the interaction interface were annotated in red and black colours, respectively. Side chains of contacting residues are shown as sticks. Nitrogen and oxygen atoms are shown in blue and red, respectively. The carbons are coloured in cyan and yellow in the interacted molecules and the hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines in red.
