Figure 2. Comparison of the structural conformations of hTcf4 and XTcf3 near the second charged button (Lys 312). Stick models of the central region of the a, hTcf4-CBD and b, XTcf3-CBD on top of the -catenin molecular surface, which has been shaded to denote the basic (blue) and acidic (red) regions. The Tcf Glu residues are color-coded as in Fig. 1b. This figure was generated by GRASP27. c, Bonding diagram of the hTcf4-CBD kinked helical region. The hTcf4 residues are shown in black; -catenin residues, in red. Hydrophobic interactions are denoted by a red starburst, and hydrogen bonds and charged interactions are denoted in green. Solvent molecules are shown in turquoise. d, Stereo 2F[o] - F[c] omit map of hTcf4-CBD. The hTcf4 residues are denoted in yellow; the -catenin residues, in red. The map is contoured at 1 .
