Figure 1
(a) Structure of CmArsM with bound PhAs(III). Cartoon diagram (colored in light orange) representation of PhAs(III)-bound CmArsM (PDB entry 4kw7
). The conserved cysteine residues are shown in ball-and-stick representation and are colored green (carbon), blue (nitrogen) or yellow (sulfur). The dark blue sphere is the As atom and the light blue sphere is a Ca2+ ion in the SAM binding site. PhAs(III) is bound between the conserved residues Cys174 and Cys224. (b) A disulfide bond between Cys44 and Cys72. The four conserved cysteine residues are shown in ball-and-stick representation. The length of the disulfide bond is approximately 2.1 Å in the PhAs(III)-bound structure. |
