Figure 9.
Figure 9. Schematic representation showing the change in the relative orientation of the two CCHC and CCCC zinc-binding sites in CRP2(LIM2)R122A introduced by the point mutation at residue position 122. (a) Ribbon drawing showing the superposition of a representative structure taken from the ensemble of 11 energy-minimized NMR structures of CRP2(LIM2)R122A (yellow) and the wild-type CRP2(LIM2) structure with the lowest residual restraint violations [Konrat et al 1997] (blue). Backbone atoms of the N-terminal CCHC zinc finger encompassing residues Cys120-Cys144 were matched. (b) Orthogonal view displaying only the C-terminal CCCC zinc binding site of mutant CRP2(LIM2)R122A (yellow) and wild-type protein (blue). The pictures were produced with the program MOLMOL [Koradi et al 1996].
