Figure 1. Schematic Representation of the Structure of the NF-kB Dimerization Domains(A) The wild-type homodimeric conformation and (B) the intertwined fold of the MLAM mutant are shown. The mutations are Tyr267->Met and Val310->Met. Two loops in the MLAM mutant that could not be built into the structure due to disorder are labeled (residues from 285 to 290 in both chains). The extensive intertwining between the two polypeptide chains is responsible for excluding from the solvent a total surface area of about 4600 Å2. Orthogonal views are shown.
