Figure 4
Coordinated DHp helical bending and CA positioning during the open-state to closed-state transition. (a) Asymmetrical structure of the DHp domain of closed lpWalK. The bent monomer is coloured purple and the straight monomer is coloured green. (b) Alignment of the DHp domain of closed lpWalK with that of open lpWalK. The alignment was performed using the invariable bottom region (amino acids 388–405). A top view of this alignment is shown on the right. The bending direction and degree are marked with an arrow. (c) Global structural alignment of closed and open lpWalK. These two structures are aligned and coloured as in (b). The rotation of the CA domain is indicated with an arrow. AMPPNP in the CA domains is shown in sticks. |
