Figure 2.
Figure 2 Structure of the GCM domain. (A) Ribbon representation of the GCM domain bound to its cognate DNA. The -sheets of the large and small domains are depicted in dark blue and light blue, respectively. Helices H1, H2 and H3 are shown in red, and the DNA is shown in yellow. The two Zn ions and their coordinating ligands are depicted. Figures 2A and B, 3B, 4A and 6 were produced using the program RIBBONS (Carson, 1991). (B) View of the GCM domain with the DNA axis running vertically. DNA bases are numbered according to Figure 1B. (C) Topology diagram of the GCM domain. DNA-contacting residues and the first and second Zn ion coordinating residues are marked as dots. The color code corresponds to Figures 1A and 2A.
