Synchrotron SAXS data from solutions of HOTag6 tetramerization domain followed by a (Gly-Ser)10 linker fused to human monoubiquitin with 200 mM NaCl in 20 mM sodium phosphate, 200 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.02% NaN3, pH 6.8 were collected on the BioCAT 18ID beam line at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory storage ring (Lemont, IL, USA) using a Pilatus3 X 1M detector at a sample-detector distance of 3.7 m and at a wavelength of λ = 0.1033 nm (I(s) vs s, where s = 4πsinθ/λ, and 2θ is the scattering angle). One solute concentration of 4.53 mg/ml was measured at 20°C. 21 successive 0.500 second frames were collected. The data were normalized to the intensity of the transmitted beam and radially averaged; the scattering of the solvent-blank was subtracted.

HOTag6 is a ~30-amino-acid tetramerization domain followed by a (Gly-Ser)10 linker followed by the sequence for human monoubiquitin (UniProt ID: P0CG47, https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P0CG47, amino acids 1-76) . This is a designed protein (no natural variant exists). The HOTag6 sequence is from the Shu group at the University of California, San Francisco (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molcel.2017.12.008).
