Figure 4. Analysis of the PriS-PriL interface. (a) Hydrophilic interactions at the PriS-PriL interface. Hydrogen bonds are yellow dashed lines. The carbonyl groups of Asp162 and Asp163 at the C terminus of PriS helix 4 are hydrogen-bonded to the main chain amides of PriL residues Lys165 and Gly166. The side chains of Asp162 and Asp163 further interact electrostatically with Arg224 and Arg227. (b) Structure-based yeast two-hybrid analysis of the Sso PriS-PriL interface. Single and double mutations in PriS and PriL disrupt the interaction between the core primase subunits. Control plate: -Leu, -Trp; selective plates: -Leu, -Trp, -His and the more stringent -Leu, -Trp, -His, -Adenine. Numbered samples are identified in Table 1.
