Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Ribbon diagrams of HMk (cyan) aligned to various
histone proteins. (A) HMk aligned to H2A-H2B (Luger et al.
1997). (B) HMk aligned to H3-H4 (Luger et al. 1997). (C)
C-Terminal domain of HMk aligned to HMfB (Starich et al. 1996).
(D) Superposition of HMk dimer created from the crystallographic
2-fold axis (cyan) and (H3-H4)[2] tetramer. Note the structural
similarity between HMk and the other histones. Also note the
similar arrangement of domains and interfaces between HMk and
[H3-H4]. However, in the HMk structure, the C termini contact
one another, whereas in the nucleosome structure the [H3-H4][2]
has a gap. Structure alignments were performed using ALIGN
(Satow et al. 1986).
