Figure 3. The Interactions between β-Catenin and the β Strand in the Extended Region of XTcf3-CBD(A) Stereo 2F[o]−F[c] simulated annealed omit map of XTcf3-CBD. XTcf3 residues are denoted in yellow and β-catenin residues are denoted in red. Solvent molecules are shown in turquoise. The map is shown at a level of 1σ.(B) Structure of the XTcf3 extended region on the top of the β-catenin molecular surface. Two semi-buried charged buttons, Lys-435 and Lys-312, are critical for the β-catenin/Tcf interactions. The β-catenin surface was cut off in the upper part of the figure to be able to view the extended region of XTcf3-CBD. XTcf3 residues are shown in white and exposed β-catenin residues due to the cut surface are shown in green. XTcf3 residues are labeled in yellow and β-catenin residues are labeled in white. The equipotential contours at the relative levels of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 were calculated with GRASP and are shown in white.(C) XTcf3 extended region bonding diagram. The same conventions are used as in Figure 2B.
