3 Section 2 Analysis of the homology models and their MD simulation trajectories by principal components analysis To evaluate our homology models, we analyzed the average structures calculated from trajectories of the MD simulations. These averages are comparable to NMR ensembles, although the time scale accessible by NMR is orders of magnitudes larger than by MD simulation (Soares et al., 2004). Still, the ensembles generated by MD simulations are a powerful tool to investigate the dynamics of the modeled structures. To assess the quality of sampling of a local free-energy minimum for a molecule from the conformational space we applied the principal components analysis (PCA; Hess et al., 2000, 2002). First, the autocorrelation was computed for the principal components (PC) and the relaxation coefficients determined were averaged (column 7 in supp. Table 1) for the minimal number of PCs reflecting at least 80% of all fluctuations. Hess (2002) suggested that the simulation time should exceed ten times the correlation time (10*a) to have a high probability of sampling an entire free-energy minimum visited during the MD simulation. Accordingly, all simulations fulfill this criterion (supp. Table 1, column 2 vs. column 6). Secondly, the cosine content of the first principal component in dependence on the simulation length is almost zero at the end of the MD simulation (supp. Figure 2c). However, this is the most unreliable criterion (Hess, 2002). Therefore, we next analyzed the overlap of the covariance matrices in subintervals generated as described in materials and methods with the covariance matrix over the whole run. All models show an overlap larger than 0.8 after half of the simulation time (penultimate data point in supp. Figure 2d; supp. Table 1). Hess (2000, 2002) argues that an overlap of 0.8 and above indicates good sample space coverage. Finally, we inspected the root of the mean squared fluctuations (RMSF) of the C α atoms (supp. Figure 2e). All trajectories reach a ballistic behavior of the simulation time dependent RMSF. The maximal RMSF values are 2

4 listed in supp. Table 1. Hence, all models fulfill the criteria proposed by Hess (2000, 2002). Therefore, we conclude that we have sufficiently sampled conformations associated with the free energy minima that have been visited during the MD simulations and conclusions based on the simulations and the average structures are feasible.

Comparison of 3-TPR domain models and principal component analysis Data for model I of pstoc64tpr are shown in grey, for model II of pstoc64tpr are shown in blue, for the model of attoc64-v TPR in cyan and date of pptoc64-1 TPR in red. (a) Shown are the changes of the RMSD of the C α atoms of each model of pstoc64tpr with respect to the starting structure of each trajectory. The trajectory of model I of pstoc64tpr was constructed by concatenating the trajectories of three MD simulations (supp. Figure 2a). The 2 nd and 3 rd MD simulation represent continuations of the 1 st MD simulation at time 928 ps and 2034 ps, respectively. For model I of pstoc64tpr we observed a rise of the RMSD up to the 6 th ns of the first part of the tripartite MD simulation followed by a decline to a lower level. The second MD simulation (nanoseconds 20 to 40) also showed stronger fluctuations. However, the third MD simulation (nanoseconds 40 to 60) dropped very fast into a low equilibrium fluctuating around an RMSD of 2.2Å. In contrast, after a quick rise during the first 500ps model II remained on average at a RMSD of 2.0Å. (b) Root mean square fluctuation of the C α atoms of each model of pstoc64tpr is shown. Helices are indicated as boxes above the x-axis, loops as lines connecting these boxes. In (c) and (d) the results of the PCA are plotted.

7 Section 3 Analysis of the peptide-tpr complex by principal component analysis The average RMSD of the liganded 3-TPR domain of attoc64-v (supp. Figure 3a), pstoc64 (not shown) and of the bound octapeptide was analyzed (supp. Fig. 3b, black). In order to explore the movements of the ligand relative to the receptor within the binding groove we superimposed the complex by the C α atoms of the core residues (supp. Fig. 3d) of the 3- TPR domain only. This analysis shows that the ligand moves quite strongly within the binding groove (RMSD > 0.6 nm in parts, supp. Figure 3b, grey). The analyses of the RMSD distribution of both, the Arabidopsis and the pea systems show that the internal motions of the 3-TPR domain are more restricted when the peptide is bound (supp. Fig. 3c, top). However, when the octapeptide is complexed to the 3-TPR domain of Toc64 from pea the restriction of the internal movement of the structure is not as pronounced as obtained for attoc64-v TPR (supp. Fig. 3c, top). The distribution of the RMSD of the octapeptide suggests the existence of at least two states for both, the Arabidopsis and the pea model (supp. Fig. 3c, bottom). In the Arabidopsis model the peptide resides dominantly in one state (supp. Fig. 3c, bottom). A quadruple Gaussian fit revealed that the area below the two most prominent peaks in the pea model is quite similar. Performing a PCA of the 3-TPR domains of the complexed systems we obtained a similar quality of the sampling as for the free 3-TPR domain (supp. Figure 2, 4, supp. Table 1). Hence, we conclude that at least for the two 3-TPR domains of pstoc64 and attoc64 the sampling is sufficient for further analysis of the complexes. We next analyzed the conformations taken up by the peptide. As a reference the starting structure of the ligand of attoc64-v TPR was used to superimpose the trajectories of both ligands from the MD simulations of attoc64-v TPR and pstoc64tpr by the coordinates of their C α atoms. The trajectories were concatenated leaving out approximately the first 6 ns each to remove equilibration effects - and a RMSD matrix was calculated. The RMSD matrix 5

8 was constructed by calculating pairwise RMSDs of the structures within the trajectory. With this matrix we performed a cluster analysis with GROMACS g_cluster tool choosing gromos clustering method (Daura et al., 1999) with a cutoff of 0.2 nm including every 10 th frame of the trajectory. The majority of the conformations of both 3-TPR domains ligands was assigned to a single cluster (supp. Figure 5a, b). It is obvious, that a significant portion of conformations of the ligand of pstoc64tpr is different from the Arabidopsis system (supp. Fig. 5a, b).

Analysis of ligand behavior from MD simulations For (a) the trajectories of the C α atoms of each ligand (from attoc64-v TPR and pstoc64tpr) were concatenated (each excluding roughly the first 6 ns) and a RMSD matrix calculated (upper half of matrix). The lower half of the matrix displays the result of clustering the ligands by the RMSD matrix with the GROMACS tool g_cluster using a cutoff of 0.2 nm for the gromos method (Daura et al. 1999).

15 Section 4 Mapping the modeled interaction between peptide and 3-TPR domain and motions within the 3-TPR domains with and without ligand Analysis of the MD simulations with respect to the dynamics of the H-bond network between 3-TPR domain and octapeptide (supp. Figure 6) is described in the manuscript. For the analysis of the motion within the simulated 3-TPR domains we used the PCA. To compare the MD simulations of the 3-TPR domain of attoc64-v and pstoc64 (with and without ligand) and of pptoc64 we have calculated the inner products of the first few eigenvectors. The different types of motions held within eigenvectors 1 to 3 are very similar for all simulated homology models of the unliganded 3-TPR domain (supp. Figure 9a). On the other hand, eigenvector 4 matches best between attoc64-v and pptoc64-1 only. To identify motions covered by each eigenvector, the direction and strength of the motion was determined and visualized by cones originating from the C α atoms of the average structure (Tai et al., 2001) representing both by their direction and length, respectively (supp. Figure 9c). For eigenvector 1 (supp. Figure 9c, left) it is clearly visible that helix b of TPR motif II remains stationary, while the N terminal and C terminal attached parts move like a metronome or pendulum (depending on the point of view). In this context the short loops of helix IIb act as hinges. The 2 nd eigenvector (supp. Figure 9c, middle) holds an opening/closing motion of the peptide binding site with helix IIb acting as the rotational axis. In eigenvector 3 (supp. Figure 9c, right), the TPR motifs fan out at the side of the intrarepeat loops. Supp. Figure 3 (a, c) shows that the presence of the octapeptide within the binding groove of the 3-TPR domain restricts the flexibility of this domain, as can be inferred from the reduced RMSD variations. But which internal motions are affected, and which motions are dominant in the complexes? Pairwise inner-products of the first four eigenvectors of the free 3-TPR domain and its liganded form show that the motions previously observed in the unliganded 3- TPR domain have changed their ranking for both attoc64-v and pstoc64 (supp. Fig. 9a). It 10

16 becomes obvious that the movements of loop 4 (PC 2, 3) and of the solvation helix (PC 1) are more prevalent when the 3-TPR domain of attoc64-v is complexed with a peptide (supp. Fig. 9c). The same holds true for loop 2 and the solvation helix when pstoc64tpr is complexed (not shown). Analyzing the difference of the RMSF of the unliganded and liganded 3-TPR domain (Fig. 3A) reveals that the two loops indeed show stronger movement, but not so the solvation helix. Taken together the results suggest that, with exception of the two mentioned loops (2 and 4), the peptide reduces the freedom of motion of the 3-TPR domain. In contrast to the 3-TPR domains (supp. Fig. 9a), about 80% of the motions of the ligands are represented by the first eigenvector (supp. Fig. 5c, d). However, the inner product of the first eigenvectors of the covariance matrices of the ligands from the MD simulations of the 3-TPRdomain-peptide complexes is only This shows that the dominant motion is similar, and it also reflects the distinctive properties of both 3-TPR domains.

Motions within the simulated 3-TPR domains (a) The inner products of the first four eigenvectors of the MD simulations of the 3-TPR domain of attoc64-v (free) and attoc64-v (liganded), pstoc64 (1ELW) and pptoc64-1, respectively (left); of pstoc64 (1ELW) and pptoc64-1, and pstoc64 (liganded), respectively (right top); and of attoc64-v (liganded) and pstoc64 (liganded) (right bottom) as a measure of similarity of the eigenvectors were calculated. The graphs show the fraction of the sum of the eigenvalues that is contained within the respective eigenvector. (b, c) The motions of the free (b) and liganded (c) 3-TPR domain of attoc64-v within eigenvector 1, 2 and 3 is visualized by cones originating from the C α atoms of the average structure representing both by their direction and length, respectively. 22

Amino acid conservation in the 3-TPR domain (a) Shown is a multiple alignment of the available Toc64 TPR domain sequences. The upper block contains all sequences of the plastidic sequences, the block at the bottom all sequences of the mitochondrial sequences. Red ellipses mark positions with an amino acid composition that differs between the two blocks. The orange ellipse marks a position, which shows a different amino acid composition in both blocks, but is involved in chaperone binding. Blue ellipses mark residues, which are conserved in both blocks and are involved in chaperone binding. Cyan ellipses mark positions which are conserved in both blocks, but are not involved in chaperone binding. 23
