Figure 1. Overall structure of U2AF^65-RRM1. Alternative conformations are shown as ball-and-stick representations with the major conformation in yellow and the minor conformation in red. (a) Ribbon diagram of U2AF^65-RRM1 with α-helices in blue and β-strands in green. Bound PEG MME550 and zinc ions from the crystallization solution are shown in magenta. (b) View as in (a), rotated 180° about the y-axis. (c) Backbone trace representations of U2AF^65-RRM1 (blue) compared with X-ray structures of other RRMs determined in the absence of RNA, including the N-terminal RRM of U1A^24 (purple), N and C-terminal RRMs of Sex-lethal^16 (red and green, respectively), and N and C-terminal RRMs of hnRNP A1^17 (yellow and cyan, respectively). The unique α1/β2 loop and β2/β3 loop of U2AF^65-RRM1 are labeled. Images were created using MolScript,^25 Bobscript,^26 and Raster3D.^27
