Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Structure of cpSRP43. (A) Scheme of the domain structure of cpSRP43 with chromodomains (CD1 to 3) and ankyrin repeats (Ank1 to 4). Domains present in the crystal structure are given by residue numbers and are indicated in rainbow colors. (B) Side view of cpSRP43 in ribbon representation. The domains are labeled. (C) Side view of cpSRP43 [90° rotation with respect to (B)]. Secondary structure elements are numbered. The N- and C-termini are labeled. (D) Front view of cpSRP43. The surface representation shows two hydrophobic grooves separated by a positive ridge. The molecular surface is colored blue and red according to positive and negative electrostatic potential, respectively. The asterisk highlights Tyr^204 in Ank3. (E) Back view of cpSRP43 [same view as in (C)] showing the highly negatively charged surface with a spacing of negative charges reminiscent of RNA (see fig. S2).
