In the first column we include the name of the structural superfamily of each TF according to SCOP [37]. In the second column the name of each TF is followed by the PDB identifier of the structure used enclosed in brackets. The following two columns contain the resolution and the R-value of the crystals respectively. The last two columns report the E-values resulting from STAMP [38] local alignments between the structure-based PWMs obtained with the method of Morozov and Siggia [32] (E-valuecontacts) or our approach (E-valuereadout) and the corresponding cognate PWMs, extracted from the literature [43,49,53]. Parenthesized E-values were calculated after sampling interface rotamers with DNAPROT.
