Figure 5.
Figure 5. a, Contacts between the AAD and the upper surface of the ANK core. The AAD is shown as a coil with side chains attached. The molecular surface of the ANK is colored white, and the surface associated with atoms within van der Waals contact of the AAD is colored red. b, Residues within the first ANK repeat of Swi6 (left) generate an extensive hydrophobic surface (red) that is partially occluded through interactions with the AAD (shown as blue coil). Mapping sequence substitutions in Swi4 (right) and Mbp1 (not shown) onto the Swi6 backbone structure shows that this surface is conserved and suggests that a similar AAD−like structure is likely to be present in these and the other Swi6−related proteins. The surface associated with the conserved Swi6 Trp 344 is colored blue. Parts (a) and (b) produced using GRASP^61. c, Homology within the region immediately N−terminal to the ANK core of Swi6/Cdc10−related proteins. The homologous cluster of nonpolar residues and the N−terminal segment of the first ANK repeat are boxed. Figs 4 and 5c produced using ALSCRIPT^62.
