Figure 2 Three-dimensional structure of T. maritima A SR4. (A) Superposition of the NMR structure family. Chemical shifts for residues 379 -383 (the loop between S4 and S5) were not identified and this segment is relatively disordered in the family. (B) Helix arrangement in TmSR4. Helix S1 (residues 322 -329), helix S2 (residues 334 -342), helix S3 (residues 353 -361), helix S4 (residues 364 -377) and helix S5 (residues 385 -393) were identified from secondary 13C[ / ]shifts, d[NN] (i, i+1) NOEs and 3J[NH ]coupling constants. (C) Hydrophobic core of TmSR4 formed from nonpolar residues found in all the five helices. (D) Superposition of TmSR4 (blue), the T. aquaticus A SR4 in its DNA-bound conformation (red) (Campbell et al, 2002) and the T. thermophilus A SR4 in its holoenzyme conformation (green) (Vassylyev et al, 2002).
