Figure 4. Interaction of the Pol Peptide with UL42The peptide is folded into an αβα structure on the front surface of UL42. (A) Ribbon diagram of UL42 (blue) bound to peptide A (orange) (UL42 is oriented as in Figure 2). (B) Molecular surface representation of UL42 with peptide A bound. P1 and P2 denote pockets formed on the surface of the molecule. Labeled residues belong to the peptide, except for that of UL42 Q171, which is labeled as a projection on the surface. The side chains of the peptide are colored as follows: blue, K, R, and H; red, D and E; yellow, G; magenta, A; cyan, T; and white, L, V, and F. (C) Schematic representation of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the peptide (orange) and UL42 (blue). Spheres represent the alpha carbons. The cylinders represent the two helices of the peptide, and the arrows indicate the region of Pol and UL42 that form the antiparallel β strands.
