Figure 4. Tryptophan Recognition by the U2AF^35 RRM and U2AF^65-RRM3(A) Ribbon representation of the U2AF^35 RRM in complex with the proline-rich region in the N terminus of U2AF^65 (Kielkopf et al., 2001). Side chains involved in the molecular interface are shown. Trp134, which is not conserved in U2AF^65-RRM3, is labeled magenta.(B) Ribbon representation of the U2AF^65-RRM3/SF1 complex. Side chains involved in tryptophan coordination are shown.(C) Sequence alignment of noncanonical RRMs with an extended and negatively charged helix A. Conserved residues that mediate recognition of SF1 Trp22 and U2AF^65 Trp92 by U2AF^65-RRM3 and the U2AF^35 RRM, respectively, are shown in white on black. Trp134 in the U2AF^35 RRM is colored magenta.(D) Domain organization of proteins that contain noncanonical RRMs. The domain annotations are according to SMART (Schultz et al., 1998). “R/S” is an arginine-serine-rich region, “STY Kc” is a phoshokinase domain, and “Zn” are zinc binding domains.
