Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Electrostatic charge distribution and binding pockets. Delphi electrostatic potential calculated and mapped onto the Connelly solvent accessible surface using InsightII calculated with coordinates corresponding to the core domain (residues 1379 to 1625). Simulated ionic strength was set to 0.145 M with a bulk solvent dielectric constant of 80. The first seven NH[2]-terminal residues from a symmetry-equivalent molecule are shown as a green stick model. The first three residues (1359 to 1361) are visible binding into the putative acetyllysine recognition pocket of the first domain. (A) Orientation of the hTAF[II]250-DBD is the same as that of Fig. 2. Numerous clustered lysine and arginine residues result in an extended basic surface. (B) Reverse side of the double bromodomain relative to (A) displaying the acidic stripe present running across the top of the molecule. (C) Putative binding surface of the double bromodomain viewed from the bottom surface of (A). Two deep pits (labeled) at the center of each four-helix bundle are readily apparent and are separated by about 25 Å.
