Figure 1. Structure of the U2AF^35/U2AF^65 Complex(A) Stereoview of the U2AF^65 proline-rich loop enveloping U2AF^35 Trp134. Density modified, experimental electron density map for residues Trp92p to Pro104p of U2AF^65 contoured at 1σ. The U2AF^65 peptide is shown in pink, or color coded for atom type (yellow, carbon; red, oxygen; and blue, nitrogen) and the U2AF^35 domain is shown in light blue. Six disordered amino acids linking α helix A with the RNP2 β strand 1 are represented with a dashed line. The RNP motifs and α helices A and B are labeled.(B) The U2AF complex viewed along the cylindrical axis of α helix A. A schematic representation of the reciprocal tryptophan binding sites is shown on the left.(C) View of the binary complex perpendicular to the perspective of (B).(D) U2AF^35 β sheet that forms the RNA binding surfaces of canonical RRM-containing proteins
