Figure 5. Structural characterization of the unphosphorylated and pSer5 CTD2′ by NMR spectroscopy.
(a) Cβ and Cγ chemical shifts from the 3D CCCON spectrum of unphosphorylated CTD2′ demonstrate that, when resolved, individual proline side chain resonances show a nearly all-trans state. Blue and red bars represent the range of chemical shifts (mean±s.d.) for prolines in the trans and cis conformation, respectively. (b) Cβ and Cγ chemical shifts from the 3D CCCONH spectrum of hyper-pSer5 CTD2′ reveal dramatic trans to cis conformational switches in response to pSer5.
