Atomic co-ordinates are from the PDB files 4RED (A) and 4RER (B) [], with only the α-KD, α-AID and the start of the α–linker being displayed in (B). The color-coding of domains is as in . Most of the structures are rendered in “cartoon” view (PyMOL v1.7.4.2), but the side chains of the regulatory spine [] (Leu81, white; Leu70, red; Phe160, magenta; His139, blue), and phosphorylated Thr172 in (B), are in “sphere” view. Note how the residues of the regulatory spine are stacked in alignment in (B) but not in (A). In (A), the α-AID shown is that attached to the other molecule of α-KD:α-AID within the crystal dimer, but in solution the α-AID from the same molecule is thought to adopt this position [].
