Figure 3. Crystal Structure of the Complex between 22-mer siRNA and Aa-Ago
(A) A view of the crystal structure of the complex between externally bound 22-mer siRNA and Aa-Ago. The color codes of the various domains and linkers of Aa-Ago are as follows: N domain, pink; L1 linker, green; PAZ domain, cyan; L2 linker, yellow; Mid domain, pink; PIWI domain, cyan; and PIWI box, red. The siRNA is shown in beige, except for the 2 nt overhang at one end, which is colored red. The backbone phosphorus atoms are colored yellow.
(B) The view in (A) rotated by 90° along the z axis.
