a, Overall view of the dimerization interface of PsChs1 depicted as a ribbon diagram. One protomer (PsChs1α) is shown in yellow and the other (PsChs1β) is shown in blue. The dimerization interface is shown in surface view. b–e, The four regions involved in interface interactions are highlighted: PsChs1α TM2 with PsChs1β TM5 (b), PsChs1α GT domain, MIT subdomain and SP subdomain with PsChs1β TM5 (c), PsChs1α SP subdomain with PsChs1β MIT subdomain (d) and PsChs1α SP subdomain with PsChs1β LG subdomain (e). The side chains of residues that are critical for dimerization are shown as sticks. The hydrogen bonds are labelled with black dashes.
