Figure 2: Overall structure of the SRA–hemi-methylated CpG DNA complex. a, Ribbon representation of the SRA–DNA complex in the same orientations as in Fig. 1a: grey, SRA; orange, N-tail and finger loop; light blue, loop L3; light green, DNA; magenta, flipped-out base 5mC[7]. b, Schematic representation of the protein–DNA interactions observed in the crystal structure. Hydrogen bonds between SRA and DNA are shown by red lines: dotted, main-chain contacts; solid, side-chain contacts. Van der Waals contacts between SRA and DNA are shown by blue lines. W, water molecules mediating indirect interactions.
