Extended Data Fig. 8: Juxtaposition of SERINC5 and the trimeric HIV-1 envelope spike.

From: A bipartite structural organization defines the SERINC family of HIV-1 restriction factors

Extended Data Fig. 8

The model of human SERINC5 is shown in gray cartoons with residues important for restriction highlighted in blue and modeled loops in transparent white. The illustrative model of full-length trimeric HIV-1 Env was assembled using PDB 6E8W (model 1; pinks) and PDB 5FUU (gp41 browns; gp120 purples). MPER (653−683) is shown in cyans. All structures are shown in cartoons; the membrane is in a cream color. a, Side-by-side comparison. b, Models shown in closer proximity. c, 90o rotation and zoom of model in b, showing that the distance between ECL5 and ECL3 is approximately the same distance (~30 Å) as that between MPER α-helices in gp41.
