Figure 4 Comparison of the KAP-1 PHD, PML RING, IEEHV RING and RAG1 RING. Superposition of KAP-1 PHD (with blue -strands, aa 627 -652) and PML RING (magenta -strands, aa 56 -81) (A) and RAG1 RING (yellow -strands, aa 292 -317) (B) from the first metal ligand to the sixth metal ligand. The white spheres represent zinc atoms with the upper zinc atom being site I. The orientation of KAP-1 PHD is the same in both panels. (C) Superposition of zinc-binding site I for KAP-1 (627 -632, 647 -652), PML (56 -71, 76 -81), IEEHV (7 -12, 28 -33) and RAG1 (292 -297, 312 -317). The metal ligands are colored according to protein: KAP-1 in blue, PML in magenta, IEEHV in green and RAG1 in yellow. (D) Superposition of the conserved hydrophobic core residues N-terminal to metal ligand 5 and C-terminal to metal ligand 6 (L76 and L81 in PML, F28 and I33 in IEEHV, and F312, I317, F647 and H652 in PHD). The side-chains are colored as in (C). The core residues from PHD are noted for clarity. The conserved tryptophan within the PHD family (W664 in KAP-1) is seen here inserting between the other core residues, repositioning the core.
