Figure 4.
FIG. 4. Model of RAG2-PtdInsP interactions. A, structural overlay of the RAG2 PHD finger (green) on the EEA1 FYVE finger-IP(1,3)[2] complex (FYVE domain, magenta; inositol 1,3-P[2], yellow). (Protein Data Bank code 1HYI [PDB] (46).) The conserved -sheet and zinc ions were used to overlay the two structures. Arginine side chains important for FYVE-PtdInsP binding are shown in magenta. Basic residues of RAG2 in the L2 segment (Arg-464 and His-468) are shown in blue. B, ribbon schematic of the RAG2 PHD finger structure with the indicated basic residues (blue) and disease-linked residues (red). C, schematic comparison of RAG2 and ING2 C termini. PHD fingers are shown in green. The blue boxes denote regions of positively charged residues important for PtdInsP binding by ING2. The analogous regions of RAG2 (L2 and CT) are also highlighted in blue, with the one inside the PHD finger (L2) corresponding to the blue -helix region in B.
