FIGURE 2. Ribbon diagram of the structure of the FitAB-IR36 complex. a, the FitA and FitB proteins are colored magenta and cyan, respectively. DNA is colored according to gray (carbon), red (oxygen), blue (nitrogen), and yellow (phosphorus). The four FitAB heterodimers are numbered from I to IV. b, view of a rotated to demonstrate that the two FitA sheets bind on the same face of the DNA helix. c, sequence of the 36-bp IR36 site used for crystallization. The 8-bp inverted repeat half-sites are highlighted in yellow.
