Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Interaction surfaces implicated in the Prx-Grx or Prx-Trx interaction. Electrostatic potential surfaces of the hyPrx5 Prx domain, the hyPrx5 Grx domain, human Prx5 (PDB code 1HD2), and human Trx (PDB code 1ERU) were calculated by using the program GRASP (27). Positive and negative charges are represented as blue and red, respectively. a, the surface of the hyPrx5 Prx domain. Residues involved in the Prx-Grx contact in the hyPrx5 tetramer are labeled and surrounded by a yellow lines. The alternative interaction surface (see "Prx-Grx Interaction") is indicated with a green line. b, the surface of the hyPrx5 Grx domain. Residues involved in the Prx-Grx contact of in the hyPrx5 tetramer are labeled and surrounded by a yellow line. c, the surface of human Prx5. Residues of human Prx5 corresponding to those participating in the Prx-Grx contact of hyPrx5 are labeled and surrounded by a yellow line. The point of view in the figure is the same as in a. The orientation was determined by superposing the two structures (the hyPrx5 Prx domain and human Prx5). Thr-48, Ser-51, Phe-150, Asp-154, and Asp-156 of the hyPrx5 Prx domain correspond to Gly-46, Lys-49, Leu-149, Leu-153, and Pro-155 of human Prx5, respectively (for the sequence alignment, see Fig. 2). d, the surface of human Trx. Residues of human Trx involved in the Trx-Trx reductase contact (PDB code 1F6M) are labeled and surrounded by a yellow line. The point of view in the figure is the same as in b. The orientation was determined by superposing the two structures (the hyPrx5 Grx domain and human Trx). The C trace of the NF B peptide bound to human Trx (Ref. 38, PDB code 1MDI) was drawn as a cyan tube.
