Figure 3: Detailed interaction between TRAF2 and the TNF-R2 peptide. a,Simulated annealing omit difference map for the TNF-R2 peptide calculated with reflections between 20.0 and 2.3 Å resolution and contoured at 2.0 . The peptide model is superimposed. b, Molecular surface of a TRAF2 promoter, showing the bound TNF-R2 peptide as a stick model; the three-fold axis is in the vertical orientation. Surface colour coding is according to electrostatic surface potential, scaled from -30 to +30 kTe^-1, with blue for positive and red for negative. Selected residues in the receptor peptide and the underlying secondary-structural elements of TRAF2 at the binding site are labelled. c, Stereo view of the detailed interaction between the TNF-R2 peptide (carbon atoms shown in yellow) and the TRAF2 protomer (carbon atoms shown in grey). The main chain of the TRAF2 structure is shown in cyan as backbone worms. Selected residues in the peptide (primed numbers in green) and the protein (in grey) are labelled. Hydrogen bonds and a salt bridge are shown as black dotted lines.
