Figure 3. The SAP25 SID binds to a deep hydrophobic cleft in the mSin3A PAH1 domain. Molecular surface views of the cleft color-coded according to (a) residue type (hydrophobic, yellow; polar, cyan) and (b) curvature (concave, gray; planar, white; convex, green). The backbone of the SAP25 SID helix and the PAH1-interacting side-chains are shown in worm and in stick representations, respectively. (c) A catalogue of intermolecular interactions in the SAP25 SID–mSin3A PAH1 complex detected in ≥60% of conformers in the NMR ensemble.^64 SAP25 and mSin3A residues are presented in pale magenta and pale green backgrounds, respectively. The lines connect interacting residues. Line colors indicate the type of interaction (green, electrostatic; red, hydrogen bonding; purple, salt-bridge; gray, hydrophobic), whereas text colors indicate the type of residue (green, hydrophobic; blue, polar; magenta, charged).
