Figure 5. Molecular Surfaces of eIF1A(A) Three views of the electrostatic surface of eIF1A produced with the program GRASP ([33]). Positive charge is colored blue and negative red (±40 kT). Surfaces to the right are progressively rotated 90° counterclockwise around the vertical axis of the paper. eIF1A is in a different orientation from the other figures with the far right panel looking down the axis/hole of the β barrel (approximately 90° clockwise rotation of Figure 4B around horizontal axis of paper). Secondary structure elements are labeled for orientation.(B) Surface of amino acids that have backbone amide chemical shift changes upon binding RNA are colored green (same residues as Figure 4B). Yellow surfaces are amino acids that have undetectable amide resonances due to intermediate conformational exchange in the unbound protein and are not available as probes of RNA binding. The three surfaces have the same orientation as in (A).
