Figure 2. DNA Recognition by c-Myb and AMV v-Myb(A and B) Schematic representations of DNA recognition by c-Myb (A) and AMV v-Myb (B). Dashed and solid lines depict intermolecular hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts, respectively. DNA bases labeled in red are involved in direct interactions with proteins.(C) Stereo view of specific interactions between c-Myb and DNA bases. The peptide backbone of c-Myb is drawn as a pink or blue tube in the R2 and R3 regions, respectively. Thin and bold dotted lines depict intermolecular hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions, respectively. Water molecules are shown as red balls.(D and E) Electrostatic surface potential of DNA-bound c-Myb R1R2R3 viewed from the front (D) and back (E); positively and negatively charged areas are colored blue and red, respectively.
