Figure 2 Overview of the solution structure of the RBD of Fox-1 in complex with UGCAUGU. (A) Overlay of the final 30 structures superposed on the heavy atoms of the structured parts of the protein and of the RNA. The protein backbone is gray, the RNA backbone is orange, the phosphate groups are red, and the RNA bases are yellow. Only the ordered region of the protein (residues 116-194) is shown. (B) Surface (heavy atoms of residues 116-194) and stick (heavy atoms of the RNA) representation of the lowest energy structure. The protein surface is painted according to surface potential with red indicating negative charges and blue indicating positive charges. The RNA is colored as in panel (A). (C) The lowest energy structure in ribbon (protein backbone) and stick (RNA) representation. The color scheme is the same as in (A), important protein side chains involved in hydrophobic interactions with the RNA are represented as green sticks. (D) Same as (C) but rotated by 90° around the indicated axis. Figures were generated with MOLMOL (Koradi et al, 1996).
