Figure 3. Structure of the Coiled-Coil Domain of STAT-1The polypeptide backbone of the four helices is shown as a gray ribbon. The directions of the helices are indicated by arrows. All the side chains in the domain are depicted in the figure and are colored red (acidic), blue (basic), orange (polar), and yellow (hydrophobic). Note the clusters of acidic and basic residues on the surface. The only significant cluster of hydrophobic side chains on the surface corresponds to the site of attachment to the DNA-binding domain and is indicated by a dotted line.
