Figure 3. Energetics of the Interaction(A) Mapping of structural features onto the TRADD-N sequence. The first line is human TRADD and the second line is mouse TRADD with identical residues shown as dashes. Solvent accessibility of each TRADD-N residue when the TRAF2 structure is pulled away is shaded below the sequences. Residues involved in TRAF2 interaction are colored based on their total surface area burials and those completely buried at the interface are labeled by asterisks. TRADD residues involved in TRAF2 interaction are almost entirely identical between the human and mouse sequences, suggesting a functional conservation among the mammalian species.(B) Characterization of the interactions of wild-type and mutant TRADD-N with wild-type TRAF domain of TRAF2 using biosensor analysis. The dissociation constants (K[D]) in μM and relative to the wild-type interaction are shown, as well as the calculated ΔΔG of the mutational effects (25°C).(C) TRAF2-interacting surface of TRADD-N. Region I is shown in cold colors (light blue, blue, dark blue, green, and purple) and region II in different shades of red. Colors for each mutated residue follow the same text color in (B).
