Figure 3. Solution Structure of CH1[1](A) Stereoviews of the best 20 structures. Structures are superimposed for best fit over backbone atoms of residues 1-23 (note that residues 25-27 are not displayed, for clarity). Zinc-ligating side chains, red; zinc atom, gray; side chains of well-defined residues (2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 21, and 22), green.(B) Ribbon diagram of the lowest energy structure of CH1[1]. The secondary structural elements recognized by the program MOLMOL [33] are shown.(C) Schematic zinc binding domain. Zinc binding domains can generally be thought of as two bidentate zinc-ligating motifs separated by an intervening sequence of highly variable length.(D) Overlay of the C-X[4]-C motifs in CH1[1] and TAZ2. Residues 5-10 of CH1[1] have been overlayed with residues 28-33 of TAZ2 (yellow) using the backbone atoms only. The rmsd is 0.42 Å.(E) Overlay of the H-X[3]-C motifs in CH1[1] and TAZ2. Residues 16-23 of CH1[1] have been overlayed with residues 39-46 of TAZ2 (yellow) using the backbone atoms only. The rmsd is 0.43 Å.
