Crystal structures of TtFbpA. Stereoview of the overall structures of (a) apo TtFbpA and (b) Fe3+–bicarbonates–TtFbpA. The molecule is shown in rainbow colours from the N-terminus (blue) to the C-terminus (red). α, β and η represent α-helices, β-strands and 310-helices, respectively. (c) Anomalous difference Fourier map of the ferric ion shown in blue mesh contoured at 4.0σ. (d) The electron-density OMIT map (2FoFc map shown in blue mesh contoured at 1.5σ) was superimposed onto the ferric ion-binding site of Fe3+–bicarbonates–TtFbpA. The OMIT map was generated by omitting the atoms of two bicarbonates and a water. (e) Comparison of the ferric ion-binding site of apo TtFbpA (cyan) and Fe3+–bicarbonates–TtFbpA (green). Three tyrosine residues and the bicarbonates are shown as stick models and the ferric ion and a water molecule are shown as spheres.
