Cell 1998, 96:99-110. This paper reveals the conformation of a HEAT-motif-containing protein, the position of conserved hydrophobia residues that are likely to form the protein - protein interaction surface and the structural consequences of point mutations in the forms of the PR65/A subunit that are associated with lung and colon tumours. Conformational flexibility within the molecule is described.

The authors describe the conformation of the armadillo motifs of β-catenin, revealing a striking, right-handed superhelix conformation featuring a surface groove that is proposed to be the site of protein - protein interactions. Conformational flexibility is described.

This paper describes how the nuclear localisation signal (NLS) peptide is bound in an extended conformation to the surface groove of importin α formed from the stack of 10 armadillo motifs. Protein - peptide interactions utilise conserved asparagine and tryptophan residues on adjacent armadillo repeats. Compare this paper to [20••], which describes differences between the conformation of the NLS bound to the ankyrin repeats of IκBα and the armadillo motifs of importin α.

The structure of the GABPα/β-DNA complex reveals the interactions between the ankyrin repeat subunit of GABPβ and GABPα and explains how the interaction between the two subunits enhances the affinity of GABPα for its specific DNA sequence.

This paper, together with [19••], describes the IκBα-NF-κB complex, revealing the mechanism by which the ankyrin repeat protein IκBα inhibits the DNA-binding capacity and nuclear import of NF-κB. Compare this paper to [11••], which describes differences between the conformation of the nuclear localisation signal bound to the ankyrin repeats of IκBα and the armadillo motifs of importin α.

The structure of the three tetratricopeptide repeat motifs in protein phosphatase 5 are revealed. The three motifs stack together, forming a right-handed superhelix that creates an amphipathic groove. Structural similarities to 14-3-3 proteins are discussed.
