Figure 4. Comparison of the Histone Domain of Sos with the Structures of Various Histone ProteinsSuperpositions were generated by TOP3D (Lu, 2000). The histone domain of Sos is shown in gray. The darker gray represents the C-terminal H2A homology region. Rms deviations for the Ca backbone atoms between structures being compared are indicated. Alignment with the nucleosomal core histone dimers H2A/H2B (A) and H3/H4 (B) are shown. H2A is colored in light green, H2B in dark green. H3 and H4 are shown in orange and red, respectively (PDB code: 1KX5; Davey et al., 2002). (C) Alignment with Methanopyrus kandleri histone (PDB code: 1F1E; Fahrner et al., 2001).
