FIGURE 3. Comparison of the structures of H3K4me3 peptides bound to ING4 and ING2 PHD. A, the crystal structure of ING4-PHD is shown as a gray surface with the bound H3[10]K4me3 in yellow and the superimposed H3[12]K4me3 from the corresponding ING2-PHD complex structure in green. Only H3 residues Ala^1 to Arg^8 are seen in the crystal of the ING2 complex (Protein Data Bank entry 2G6Q). Black labels indicate the C atoms of the peptide residues, whose positions are very similar in both peptides up to H3 Thr^6. B, surface representations of the PHD fingers of ING2 and ING4 bound to the histone peptides where the electrostatic potential is indicated by a gradient of red (negative charge) and blue (positive charge) colors. The positions of the homologous tyrosine residues 198 and 215 are indicated in ING4 and ING2, respectively.
