The minimum binding sequence in Myb1 and the complex structure of TvCyP1 with the same. (a) Binding curves from fluorescence polarization experiments of Myb1 fragments with TvCyP1. Error bars are standard deviation (SD). Binding affinities were derived from a one-site binding model by using GraphPad Prism 6. 104EYGPKWNK111 (Myb1104–111) showed the highest binding affinity to TvCyP1 (16.81 ± 0.58 μM). (b) Electrostatic surface of TvCyP1 dimer in complex with the minimum binding sequence of Myb1, Myb1104–111 (shown as green and magenta sticks; PDB: 5YBA). Each protomer binds to one molecule of Myb1 peptide. Although the peptide used was Myb1104–111, electron densities of only 105YGPKWN110 (protomer I) and 104EYGPK108 (protomer II) were obtained in the complex structure. Intramolecular salt bridge interaction between K108 and E104 is shown as a green dashed line (in 104EYGPK108 bound to protomer II). (c and d) Close-up views of interactions between TvCyP1 and Myb1 peptide. Residues of TvCyP1 interacting with Myb1 peptide are shown as orange sticks. Fragments of Myb1 peptide, 105YGPKWN110 and 104EYGPK108, bound to either protomer, are represented as green and magenta sticks in (c) and (d), respectively. The hydrogen bond between the C=O of P107 and the side chain NH2 of the catalytic residue R63 is shown as a black dashed line. See Supplementary Fig. S2 for a close-up view of the conformation of the Myb1 peptide bound to either protomer and the conformation of the same sequence in Myb135–141. See Supplementary Fig. S3 also for a 2D diagram by Ligplot+ showing detailed interactions between Myb1 peptide and TvCyP1.
