Figure 3. Solution structure of the RNA complex of TIS11d. (a) Stereo view of the best 20 structures superposed on backbone heavy atoms in ordered regions of the protein and RNA. The protein backbone is blue, the RNA backbone red, and RNA bases yellow. For clarity, only ordered regions of TIS11d (residues 153 -217) and RNA bases U2 -U9 are shown. (b) Ribbon representation of a single structure, in the same orientation as in a, showing the location and coordination of zinc in each of the fingers. Colors are the same as in a, with the addition of green side chains for the zinc-coordinating ligands. (c) Backbone superposition of the structure ensembles of fingers 1 and 2. Finger 1 (Arg153 -Phe180) is dark blue (backbone), green (zinc-coordinating side chains) and red (intercalating aromatic rings); the bound RNA (U6, A7, U8, U9) is orange. The corresponding colors for finger 2 are light blue, yellow, pink and yellow. Figures were generated using MolMol50.
