Figure 4. Peptide Binding Interactions(A) Schematic drawing of the contacts between the BCL6 BTB domain and the “yellow” SMRT chain (colors as in Figure 3A). Nearly identical contacts are observed in the other contact surface.(B) Highlight of the interactions between SMRT 1427–1430 and the BCL6 BTB domain.(C) Interactions of SMRT 1424–1426 with the BCL6 BTB domain.(D) To view the interactions between region 1414–1423 of the SMRT-BBD peptide and BTB β1′, the BCL6 helix α6 (red chain) has been made transparent.(E) Superposition of the two crystallographically independent SMRT peptides from the complex, with carbons shown in yellow and green as in Figure 3. The six waters from each site that participate in the bridging SMRT/BCL6 interactions are indicated as yellow or green spheres.(F) Mutations in the BCL6 BTB peptide binding pocket reduce the affinity for the SMRT peptide. His-tagged Trx-(SMRT-BBD) was mixed with three different forms of the BCL6 BTB domain, and the load (“L”), flow through (“FT”), wash (“W”), and elute (“E”) fractions from each copurification trial were analyzed by SDS-PAGE.
