Figure 3
RNase E recognizes the enolase dimer through a microdomain. (a) The crystal structure of an E. coli enolase dimer (yellow and pink) with RNase E microdomain (blue) corresponding to residues 823–850 (PDB code 3h8a
). The inset shows a superimposition of the current and previous E. coli enolase structures highlighting the current (blue, PDB code 3h8a
) and previous (orange, PDB code 2fym
; Chandran & Luisi, 2006) RNase E-binding sites. (b) Schematic summary of the interactions between enolase and its cognate RNase E microdomain (residues 823–850). The figure was prepared using LIGPLOT (Wallace et al., 1995). |
