This article is not out of date, but the article does not mention that CCS binds to Cu(I). The form of copper found inside of cells is Cu(I), so it would be nice to mention that CCS binds to Cu(I) as opposed to Cu(II), which is not found inside cells.

This picture shows the structure of apo-yCCS inside of a cell. The intracellular and extracellular domains are labeled. The lipid membrane is in light blue, while the nucleus is shown in light red. Lysine residues are shown in orange, histidine residues are shown in pink, methionine residues are shown in green, and cysteine residues are shown in purple.

What is the reliable source on which your composition is based? If well-sourced, I would think this would be allowable but we should make sure it doesn't represent synthesis or original research. — soupvector (talk) 04:07, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@PinkPanther4597: if you have a look at File:Protein CCS PDB 1do5.png, you'll see there that the author entered into the description the following: "Structure of the CCS protein. Based on PyMOL rendering of PDB 1do5". That gives anybody who wants to see where the image came from the opportunity to follow the link to RCSB PDB - 1DO5. You should add a similar note to the description you made for File:YCCS inside a cell.png, explaining the tool you used and the source you worked from. We have a greater tolerance for original work when creating images for Wikipedia, but you still should do as much as you can to indicate the image's provenance. Hope that helps. --RexxS (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
