Figure 2: Solution structure of the ACTR -CBP complex. ACTR is pink and CBP blue in all figures. a, Stereo view showing best-fit superposition of backbone heavy atoms within the structured region. Residues at the boundaries of the structured region are numbered. b, Ribbon representation, in the same orientation as a. Helices A 1 -3 and C 1 -3, and the polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch in CBP are labelled. c, Surface representation of CBP domain, showing the hydrophobic groove formed by C 1 and C 3 that accommodates helix A 1 of ACTR. The orientation is the same as in a and b. Bulky hydrophobic residues from A 1 embedded within the groove are labelled. d, Surface representation of CBP domain, rotated to show the hydrophobic cleft that binds helix A 2 of ACTR. The interactions between A 3 and C 3 are also shown. Bulky hydrophobic residues of ACTR that form the molecular interface are labelled, as is Asp 1068, which participates in the buried salt bridge.
