Abstract
This paper describes the detailed three-dimensional structures of two zinc-finger domains from the yeast transcription factor SWI5, calculated using the results of the n.m.r. experiments described in the accompanying paper. The structure of finger 2 is essentially similar to those previously obtained by others for isolated, synthetic single zinc-finger domains in solution, and for the three zinc-finger peptide Zif268 in its crystalline complex with DNA. The N-terminal half of the sequence forms a two-stranded, irregular beta-sheet containing both of the metal-binding cysteine residues, while the remainder of the structure forms a helix. Approximately the first half of this helix is alpha-helical, whereas the C-terminal portion, including the two metal-binding histidine residues, is 3(10) helical. Four invariant hydrophobic residues form a core to the structure. In contrast to all previously described structures of zinc-finger domains, finger 1 has an additional strand in the beta-sheet, formed by residues N-terminal to the formal start of the finger motif. This additional strand plays a role in stabilising the folded form of finger 1, since a two-finger peptide lacking the N-terminal residues showed folded structure in finger 2 but not in finger 1.

Figure 5. Schematic representation of the structures of ingers 1 panels and B) and 2 (panels C and D) from SW15, prepared using the program Molscript (Kraulis, 1991). In each case, the structure having the lowest NOE violations is shown. iews A and C are related to views B and D by a 90'' rotation bout the vertical. In addition to the schematic representtion of the backbone, bonds are shown between the non-hydrogen atoms of the side-chains of the metal binding an conserved hydrophobic residues, nd these rsidues are labelled (not that, because the arrows representing the /3sheet do not necessarily pass through the actual c'' atom positions, the C''-CB bonds of some side-chains have been extended with broken lines so as to meet the bacbone representation artificially).

Figure 6. Stereoview of a local ackbone superimposition in the turn regio (Cvs44 to Cys49) between the two P-strands of fingr 2 of SWIS; as in Fig. 3,45 structures are shown. Atoms Nj: NH, C'', e and 0' re shown for all residues, tog&her with the zinc ions and he non-hydrogen side-chain atoms of Cys44, Pro47 and Cys49. The conformation is clearly that of tpe II p-turn, characterized by the hydrogen bond between His46 C = 0 and Cys49 ?u'H (indicated hy the broken line) and by the relative orientation of the Pro47-Gly48 peptide bond.

Figure 3.
Figure 3. Sequence specific bining of isolated SW15 peptides containing two and three zinc-finger motifs from WI5. The autoradiograph shows DNase I footprints of the two-finger peptide mlOFS and the three-finger peptide lOFST. The two-finger peptide occupies about 213 of the inding site of the thre-finger peptide, starting at the 5' end. The t of the three-finger peptide is very similar to tht of intact WIS, and is located in the romoter region o the HO gene at locations - 1290 to - 1308 from the start of he gene (Stillman et al., 1988).
