Figure 3: SRC-1 interactions with PPAR- bold gamma-. a, A sigma-weighted 2 F [o]– F [c] omit electron-density map is shown contoured at 1.0 for the area surrounding the rosiglitazone ligand. b, A ribbons drawing of the PPAR- LBD dimer and SRC-1, including the ligand rosiglitazone. The two PPAR- monomers are blue and green and the two SRC-1 interacting helices are yellow. The structure of SRC-1 was determined from amino acids 628–640 and 684–703 and was crystallographically refined. Very weak electron density from residues 670 to 684 was visible but was not crystallographically refined and is shown as a dashed line. SRC-1 amino acids 642–669 were disordered and not structurally determined. The diagram shows how one SRC-1 molecule, with two interacting domains, forms a complex with a PPAR- homodimer. The dashed line connecting the two structurally determined domains of SRC-1 is the proposed connection between these two domains. c, The binding of SRC-1 (amino acids 628–642) to the LXXLL-binding site of PPAR- . SRC-1 is coloured: yellow, carbon; blue, nitrogen; red, oxygen. The ribbon backbone of the PPAR- LBD is in green. PPAR- amino acids binding to the LXXLL helix are also shown in green. d, Residues H631–T640 of SRC-1 are coloured as in c, with an electrostatic surface of PPAR- showing the coactivator-binding site. E471 and K301 side chains result in the red (negative) and blue (positive) charges on the surface of the coactivator-binding site at the N and C termini of the SRC-1 helix, respectively. e, Residues H687–E696 of SRC-1 are coloured as in c, with an electrostatic surface of PPAR- showing the coactivator-binding site. f, Amino acids L465–K474 of the PPAR- AF-2 helix of one monomer in the apo structure are shown in: green, carbon; blue, nitrogen; red, oxygen, with an electrostatic surface of PPAR- showing the coactivator-binding site. E471 and K301 side chains result in the red (negative) and blue (positive) charges on the surface at the N and C terminus of the other PPAR- monomer. This figure shows how one monomer in the apo crystal structure orientates its AF-2 helix into the coactivator-binding site of another crystallographically related monomer.
