Figure 5. Structures of Zn2+-binding `knuckles'. (a) Stereo view of the RPB9 Zn2+-binding region (knuckles). Structures of the RPB9 ensemble were superimposed with respect to the mainchain atoms of residues 13-31 and 41-55. Sulfur atoms are shown as yellow balls, and Zn2+ as a white sphere. Predicted amide-sulfur hydrogen bonds are shown in yellow dashed lines: K20 NH-C18 Sg, C21 NH-C18 Sg, K48 NH-C46 Sg, and C49 NH-C46 Sg; N23 NH-C21 Sg is not shown. The protein is otherwise depicted in red. (b) Superposition of the Zn2+-binding region of RPB9 (red) and TFIIS (green) aligned with respect to the mainchain atoms of residues 13-31 and 41-55.
