Figure 1: Structure of Pol II–B complex. a, B domain organization and sequence conservation in the region connecting the B-ribbon and B-core. Yellow and green highlighting indicates conserved and invariant residues, respectively, between yeast (S. cerevisiae), human (Homo sapiens) and the archaeon P. furiosus (Pfu). b, Ribbon model of B as observed in its complex with Pol II. A peak in the anomalous difference Fourier (magenta) defines the zinc ion position (cyan sphere) in the B-ribbon. The view is from the side. c, Overview of the Pol II–B structure. Ribbon model with Pol II in silver and B in colours as in a. Side and front views are used. Pol II domains that interact with B are highlighted (dock, wheat; wall, blue; flap loop, light blue; clamp with coiled-coil, red; rudder, salmon; lid, dark red). The left view is from the side and lacks most of Rpb2, including the protrusion. The right view is from the front and includes Rpb2.
