The N-terminal arm | The <scene name='56/568027/Nterminal/1'>N-terminal arm</scene> (residues 1 to 9) of PDX-1 homeodomain, first contacts the core TAAT bases of the DNA through the minor groove and contributes to the binding specificity. In PDX-1, the N-terminal sequence contains three basic residues : Lys 2, Arg 3 and Arg 5. | ||
In both PDX-1 conformations, Arg 5 forms hydrogen bonds with the bases of Thy 1 and Gua -1* through the minor groove, and van der Waals contact with Ade 2. | In both PDX-1 conformations, Arg 5 forms hydrogen bonds with the bases of Thy 1 and Gua -1* through the minor groove, and van der Waals contact with Ade 2. | ||
