FIG. 5. The IIA^Man-HPr interface. A, stereoview of the interface with the backbone shown as tubes (green, HPr; blue, subunit A of IIA^Man; red, subunit B of IIA^Man) and the side chains as bonds (light green, HPr; cyan, subunit A of IIA^Man; pink, subunit B of IIA^Man; purple, active site histidines). Residues of HPr are labeled in italics. Note that the 1-ppm chemical shift perturbation observed for the backbone amide of Ser-72 of IIA^Man (cf. Fig. 1) is because of a ring current shift arising from its close proximity ( 3.9 Å) to the imidazole ring of His-15 of HPr. No other backbone amide proton of IIA^Man is within 5.7 Å of an aromatic side chain of HPr. B, diagrammatic summary of interfacial contacts. Residuesinvolved in potential electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding, or water-mediated hydrogen-bonding interactions are indicated in red (side chain-side chain contacts), blue (side chain of HPr to backbone carbonyl of IIA^Man), or green (side chain of IIA^Man to backbone carbonyl of HPr). The active site histidines are shown in purple. C, interaction surface on IIA^Man for binding HPr. D, interaction surface on HPr for binding IIA^Man. Residues in the interaction surfaces (C and D) are color-coded as hydrophobic (green), hydrophilic (cyan), positively charged (blue), or negatively charged (red). The relevant portions of the backbone of the interacting partner, HPr in C (gold) and IIA^Man in D (lilac for subunit A, gold for subunit B,) are displayed as tubes. In C, the surface of the non-interacting residues of IIA^Man is colored in dark gray for subunit A and light gray for subunit B. Residues of HPr are labeled in italics.
