Figure 2
Stereoviews showing detail of monovalent cation-binding site 1 in the models of E. coli GyrB43 presented here. (a) K-only model refined with a fully occupied K+ ion at 1.75 Å resolution; the equivalent site in the K+Na model is virtually identical (not shown). (b) Na-only model refined with a discretely disordered Na+ ion at 1.90 Å resolution. (c) No-salt model refined with a fully occupied water molecule at 1.95 Å resolution (all electron-density maps shown are of the form 2mFobsDFcalc and are contoured at 1.0σ). (d) Equivalent site in yeast topoisomerase II (PDB entry 1pvg) showing how the Nζ atom of Lys147 effectively substitutes for the K+ ion seen in the GyrB43 K-only structure.
