Extended Data Fig. 2

(a) Comparison of the closed conformation of the heads observed in this study and the open conformation of the heads observed in a previous crystal structure of the complex of Mis12C with CENP-C (PDB 5LSK; ref. 1). In the central superposition, the movement that sways the head2 out of position is marked by a black arrow. The red arrowheads indicate an outward movement of the helices lining the cleft that separates the DSN1 and MIS12 helices when CENP-C binds. (b) AF2 model of the interface between a positively-charged regulatory loop of DSN1 and the negatively charged head1 domain (with contributions from NSL1 and DSN1 in head2).
