FosB/JunD in the DNA-free form. (A) FosB/JunD dimer in FJoxi (type I). Leucines at the d-positions are shown. (B) Dimer interface of FJoxi type I (left) and FJ crystal (right) structures showing Heptad -1 to Heptad 2. Key hydrogen bonds in dashed lines. (C) Composite omit electron density map around the FosB/JunD C172/C285 disulfide bond (contoured at 1.0 σ) in the fully oxidized FJoxi type I (left) and partially oxidized FJ (right) heterodimer. Relevant side chains (C172, C285), backbone atoms (R286, A282) and distances, as discussed in the text. (D) Adapted helical wheel of the interface between FosB (orange, purple)/JunD (cyan) depicting the a/d/g-residues of the heptad repeat preceding and following the kink in FosB. (E) Schematic representation of FosB, JunD and GCN4 monomers in the DNA-free form. Bars represent helices; thin bars, kinks; dots, disordered peptide. Color scheme is indicated in (A) and applies to all sub-figures. Non-carbon atoms are colored as in Figure 1.
