Figure 3. Solution structure of Vts1p-SAM domain bound to SRE RNA and molecular basis of the recognition. (a) Vts1p-SAM–SRE complex. Green, side chains important for recognition; magenta dashed lines, possible hydrogen bonds. (b) Stereo view of the most representative structure showing all the interactions important for recognition, colored as in a. (c) Schematic representation of the intermolecular interactions, colored as in a. (d) Surface representation of the protein in complex. Vts1p-SAM is colored by electrostatic potential (blue, positive; red, negative) and the SRE RNA is shown in stick representation.
