Abstract
The (Anx2) 2(p11) 2 heterotetramer has been implicated in endo- and exocytosis in vivo and in liposome aggregation in vitro. Here we report on the modelling of the heterotetramer complex using docking algorithms. Two types of models are generated–heterotetramer and heterooctamer. On the basis of the agreement between the calculated (X-ray) electron density and the observed projected density from cryo-electron micrographs on the one hand, and calculated energy criteria on the other hand, the heterotetramer models are proposed as the most probable, and one of them is selected as the best model. Analysis of this model at an atomic level suggests that the interaction between the Anx2 core and p11 has an electrostatic character, being stabilised primarily through charged residues.
