As such, the introduction of valine adds a β-branched amino acid at a conserved non-β-branched hydrophobic position.
The multiple alignment shows that the Bro-N domains contain two highly conserved aromatic or hydrophobic residues at the end of the second and fourth conserved strands, a pattern that is reminiscent of similarly conserved residues in the KilA-N and APSES domains (Figure 3).
This suggested that the increased size of the isoleucine side chain compared to valine might improve a hydrophobic interaction with one or both adenosines.
These include a doublet comprised of a small and a polar residues preceding each of strands 3 and 6, a small residue after strand 2 (proline in the DDRP β' subunit and RDRP), bulky and polar residues in strand 3, a small residue immediately downstream of strand 5, a bulky residue in the loop between strands 5 and 6, and two hydrophobic residues in strand 6 (Fig.
The enthalpy of binding is calculated by molecular mechanics, while properties such as complementary hydrophobic surface area are used to estimate the entropy of binding through heuristics.
