The mononucleotide-binding pocket in VcCMAS. (a) The residues that contact the bound CDP are shown in stick representation. Hydrogen bonds are shown as red dashed lines with distances in Å. Mg2+ is represented as a magenta sphere. CDP and Mg2+ are encased in an Fo − Fc electron-density map contoured at 3.0σ (inset). (b) Mg2+ interacts with the invariant Asp215, the α-phosphoryl group of CDP and three water molecules. CDP, Mg2+ and the metal-coordinating residues are encased in a 2Fo − Fc electron-density map contoured at 1.0σ. |
