Figure 2. Structure of the STAT-1 DNA Complex(A) Ribbon diagram of the STAT-1 core dimer on DNA. The component domains are colored green (coiled-coil domain), red (DNA-binding domain), orange (linker domain), cyan (SH2 domain). The tail segments are shown in magenta and yellow. Disordered loops (one in the coiled-coil domain and one connecting the SH2 domain to the tail segment) are shown as dotted lines. The phosphotyrosine residue is shown in a stick representation. The N and C termini of STAT-1 core are indicated by ā€œNā€ and ā€œCā€. The DNA backbone is shown in gray. This and other ribbon diagrams were rendered using RIBBONS ([6]).(B) Molecular surface of the STAT-1 dimer in the same orientation as (A). The surface was calculated using GRASP ([31]) and rendered using RASTER3D ( [28]). The tail segments, shown in green and magenta, were not included in the surface generation. The surface is colored according to the local electrostatic potential, with blue and red representing positive and negative potential, respectively.
