Figure S7: The eight base triplets and associated hydrogen bonds (dashed lines) detected by DSSR in the SAM-I riboswitch (PDB id: 2gis). (A) GCG (G11,C44,G58), with G11 in a similar position and orientation as in a type II A-minor motif. (B) AGC (A12,G43,C59), a type I A-minor motif. (C) AGG (A20,G32,G35). (D) GCA (G22,C30,A61). (E) GCA (G23,C29,A62). (F) AUA (A24,U64,A85), with the isolated, linchpin-like U64-A85 pair. (G) AUa (A45,U57,SAM301), with the SAM adenosine moiety taken as a modified base in forming the triplet. (H) ACG (A46,C47,G56). Note that in (D) and (E), A61 and A62 employ their Watson-Crick edges, rather than the minor-groove edges as in A-minor motifs, to interact with the minor-groove edges of the two consecutive G–C pairs.


Starting from "2gis.pdb" downloaded from RCSB PDB, here is the complete script to get each of the eight base-triplet images in png format.

Code: Bash

Note:
  • The --prefix option makes the auxiliary files having a specified prefix instead of the default "dssr". For example, "dssr-multiplets.pdb" becomes "2gis-multiplets.pdb".
  • The ex_str utility program is from the 3DNA distribution. It is used to extract a specific model from a MODEL/ENDMDL ensemble.
  • The DSSR --hbfile-pymol option is used to generate a .pml file with all required settings for rendering in PyMOL.
  • The convert  program is from ImageMagick that is used here to trim extra white boundaries.
  • The multiplet-png images (here four triplets) were combined using InkScape, and annotated, to get the final illustration.
  • For completeness, here is the tarball file containing all the data files and the script ("tasks"): supp-fig7-2gis-multiplets.tar.gz

Here is a sample image generated with the above script:
