Figure 3:
Cross-talks of the identities and PTMs of the 7th residues with Tyr1. (a) The conserved active sites of c-Abl and ABL2 show a highly positively charged pocket close to the reaction center. Modeling reveals close proximity of the pocket with the binding site of the 7th residue from the previous repeat. (b) A schematic model of how citrullination of Arg1810 promotes transcription elongation. (c) Favorable electrostatic interactions between the CTD and c-Abl when the 7th residue has a negatively-charged side chain such as glutamate.
