Figure 4. The mRXRαF318A Ligand-Binding Pocket(A) Oleic acid (OA) interactions with the mRXRαF318A LBD. Interactions between the protein and the ligand (4.2 Å cutoff) are depicted as broken lines. Residue names are colored as a function of the mRXRαF318A structural element from which they originate. W indicates a water molecule.(B) Stereo view of the 2.5 Å resolution (2F[o]-F[c]) map contoured at 1.0 standard deviation, with OA docked into its binding site. The protein Cα trace is represented in gray, the contacting side chains (carbons, yellow; oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue; sulphur, green) and the ligand (blue) by thick lines.(C) Superposition of the ligand-binding sites of the mRXRαF318A/OA (blue) and the hRXRα/9C-RA (pink) LBDs. The gray arrows highlight the different ligand-specific induced conformations in both complexes. Helices (ribbons) and loops (rods) are indicated, as well as some residues (mouse RXRα numbering) discussed in the text.
