Figure 5.
Surface representations of C4BP12. The closest to mean structure of residues 1-124 is shown. A, surface representation, indicating residues that show chemical shift changes upon M4-N binding. Blue, small combined chemical shift difference (see below); red, large chemical shift difference, unable to track cross-peak. Residues for which no ^NH shift information could be obtained (either proline residues or due to overlap in the HSQC spectra) are colored gray. B, electrostatic surface potential, Calculated using the Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver (49) plug-in within PyMOL: red is negative charge, and blue is positive charge. A range of -5/+5 kT was used. Those amino acids substituted in a mutagenesis study are marked. C, same view of the surface (transparent with backbone trace underneath) with residues that show chemical shift changes upon M4-N binding colored according to position: yellow, close to the interface (the chemical shift of these could be influenced by intermodular reorientation or direct contact); cyan, residues away from the interface likely to be in direct contact with M4-N. The aromatic side chains of Tyr^37, Tyr^62, and Phe^84 are shown in space-fill representation. D, sequence of C4BP12 illustrating the ^NH chemical shift changes on addition of M4-N. The residues are colored as follows: black, no apparent change (combined chemical shift difference √((Δδ^NH)^2 + (Δδ^15N/5)^2 < 0.08 ppm); gray, data missing; blue, small shift (combined chemical shift difference of >0.08 ppm, <0.2 ppm but able to trace peak movement); red, large shift (unable to track peak).
