Figure 4. The yHst2-Histone H4 Interface(A) Stereo view of yHst2-histone H4 interactions within the ternary complex. Hydrogen bonds are indicated with a dashed line. Residues that mediate van der Waals interactions are also shown.(B) Summary of yHst2-histone H4 interactions. Hydrogen bonds are indicated with a dashed line, and van der Waals interactions are indicated with a half-moon symbol. For clarity, histone H4 side chains that do no participate in direct protein-peptide interactions are not shown. The residues highlighted in cyan and red highlight interactions with acetly-lysine peptide substrate that are conserved and nonconserved, respectively, with the protein-peptide interactions observed in the Af2-Sir2/p53 peptide structure.(C) The p53 peptide (purple) from the Af2-Sir2/p53 peptide structure and the "pseudosubstrate" from the nascent yHst2 structure (yellow) are overlayed with the histone H4 peptide (green) onto a surface representation of yHst2 from the ternary complex. Protein residues that make conserved interactions between the three substrates are indicated in blue, and protein residues that mediate variable interactions are indicated in red.(D) Backbone overlay of yHst2/NAD^+ (gray) and nascent yHst2 (cyan) homotrimers with the yHst2/2'-O-acetyl ADP ribose/histone H4 monomer (red). The ADP-ribose is highlighted in yellow, the histone H4 peptide is highlighted in green, and the C-terminal domain of nascent yHst2 is highlighted in purple.
