Figure 6. Identification of DNA-binding site. (a) Sequence variation with DNA binding induced chemical shift changes, Click to view the MathML source- [0?wchp=dGLbVtb-zSkWA] , of the AtTRP1[464-560] amide resonances, where Dd[NH] and Dd[N] is the chemical-shift difference for NH and 15N, respectively. (b) A schematic representation of the AtTRP1[464-560] structure. The red rods represent the helices. (c) Electrostatic charge potential on the surface of AtTRP1[464-560]. (d) The spatial locations of the DNA-perturbed residues of AtTRP1[464-560]. The magnitudes of the DNA binding-induced chemical shifts are color-coded as follow: red, Dd>0.6 ppm; orange, 0.6 >Dd> 0.4 ppm; yellow, 0.4>Dd>0.2 ppm; white, 0.02>Dd>0 ppm. Proline residues, or residues with amide resonances that cannot be observed, are colored dark grey. All structures are shown in the same orientation as in (b). (e) A model structure of AtTRP1[464-560] bound to a double-stranded telomeric DNA (sequence 5'-TAGGGTTTAGGGT-3'). The backbone of the protein molecule is shown as a yellow rope and the four helices are shown as red cylinders. The green sticks indicate residues with significant chemical shift perturbations attained upon binding to DNA. Grey and blue sticks represent the backbones of the two strands of DNA molecules, and the negatively charged phosphate group, respectively.
