Figure 2. NMR Structure of the PCAF Bromodomain/Tat AcK50 Peptide Complex(A) Stereoview of the backbone atoms (N, Cα, and C′) of 25 superimposed NMR-derived structures of the PCAF bromodomain (black) (showing residues 719–830) in complex with the Tat AcK50 peptide (green) (showing residues 46–55). Note that amino acid residues in the Tat peptide are described either according to their relative positions with respect to the acetyl-lysine in the sequence or for clarity numbered by their specific positions in the protein sequence of Tat.(B) Ribbons (Carson, 1991) representation of the average minimized NMR structure of the PCAF bromodomain/Tat peptide complex.(C) Stereoview of the Tat binding site in the bromodomain showing side chains of the protein (green) and peptide (blue) residues that are directly involved intermolecular interactions.(D) Stereoview of superimposition of the free (green) and ligand-bound (blue) structures of PCAF bromodomain showing side chain conformation of the residues in the Tat peptide binding site. The residues of the Tat peptide are colored in orange.(E) Surface representation of the Tat binding site of the bromodomain in ligand-bound (left) and free form (right). Protein residues important in ligand recognition are colored with the same color scheme in both structures. Residues indicated by an asterisk are almost completely buried in the free form structure.
