FIGURE 4. X-ray structure and dynamics properties of the dimeric interface of the regulatory domain. A, structural comparison of the superimposed C[ ]atoms of HP-RR^r (yellow), the active ArcA^N (orange, PDB accession code 1XHF), and the active PhoB^N (green, PDB accession code 1ZES). Major structural deviations occur from a 4-amino acid deletion as shown within the blue circle. B, both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions of the dimeric interface are shown. A network of ionic interactions is formed between Glu^83 ( 4), Asp^93 ( 5), and Arg^108 ( 5). The core interactions of the hydrophobic patch consisting of Val^84 ( 4), Phe^87 ( 4), Ala^104 ( 5), Ala^107 ( 5), and Ala^111 ( 5) are also shown between dimeric interface. C, dynamic properties of HP-RR^r.S^2 and R[ex] values are depicted. Order parameters, S^2, are colored onto the ribbon structure. According to increasing S^2, residues are colored from red (S^2 < 0.70) to yellow (S^2 > 0.90) in a linear fashion. For the residues with R[ex] > 0.5 s^-1, ribbon diameter (pink color) is increased in a linear fashion.
