Figure 6. Comparison of the Structure of the RAP1 DBD with the Engrailed Homeodomain and Myb(a) Superposition of domain 1 (pale green) with domain 2 (orange) of RAP1 in a view along the recognition helices. The structures were overlaid using the protein alone. The corresponding DNA sites are shown in blue for domain 1 and cyan for domain 2. The C-terminal region of domain 1 is omitted for clarity.(b) Superposition of the Engrailed homeodomain (white) with domain 1 of RAP1 (pale green). The structural similarity includes the three-helix bundle and the N-terminal arm (domain 1 of RAP1, residues 360–378, 387–396, and 398–409; Engrailed, residues 5–23, 30–39, and 40–51, numbered according to pdb entry 1hdd). The DNA sites (RAP1, blue; Engrailed, white) are shown to illustrate the different docking of the domains on DNA.(c) Superposition of the second repeat of the proto-oncogene Myb (magenta) with domain 1 of RAP1 (pale green). The structural similarity extends over the three-helix bundles (domain 1 of RAP1, residues 363–378 and 387–409; Myb, residues 94–100 and 114–136, numbered according to pdb, entry 1 mse). The view is rotated by 90° about the DNA axis with respect to (a) and (b) to illustrate the different position of the recognition helices in the major groove of their DNA sites (RAP1, blue; Myb, magenta).
