Figure 4. Lowest-Energy DNA-Bound AbrBN^55 Model from Semi-Flexible Docking and Comparison to Unbound AbrBN^53
(A) Two views of the lowest-energy HADDOCK structure from the semi-flexible docking studies. Disulfide linkages are shown as spheres in the image. Insets show a detailed look at the positioning of the arginine residues involved in binding.
(B) Overlay of unbound AbrBN^53 (red) and the lowest HADDOCK score model of AbrBN^55 bound to abrB8 (blue). One monomer is highlighted for clarity.
(C) The degree of structural variation between the unbound AbrBN^53 NMR structure and the modeled AbrBN^55 bound to abrB8, colored from white (little variation) to red (large variation), as calculated in the Cα alignment by THESEUS plotted on the refined AbrBN^53 solution structure. The unbound and bound AbrBN^53 dimer structures overlay with a Cα rmsd of 2.84 Å. LP1 and LP2 (chain A) and LP1′ and LP2′ (chain B) are noted. Proteins are oriented as depicted in Figure 1 on structures most similar to the average structure in the ensemble reported by THESEUS.
