Figure 1
Overall structure of SaDltA. (a) Ribbon diagram and surface representation of two perpendicular views of SaDltA (the N-terminal lobes and C-terminal lobes are colored orange and blue, respectively). The ATP molecule bound in the active site is shown using a stick representation and is colored by atom type. (b) Sequence conservation of SaDltA (see also Fig. 2) mapped onto the surface of the structure and colored from low to high conservation using a red to green gradient. (c) Left: close-up view showing the ATP- and Mg2+-bound active site of SaDltA. The 2Fo − Fc electron-density map (gray mesh) contoured at 1.0σ is shown around an all-atom representation of the P-loop. Center: close-up view showing the ATP- and Mg2+-bound active site of B. cereus DltA (PDB entry 3fcc). Right: close-up view showing the D-alanine-adenylate-bound active site of B. cereus DltA (PDB entry 3dhv). (d) B-factor distribution mapped onto the surface of SaDltA chains A and B (left) or chains C and D (right). The B-factor distribution is colored from low (20 Å2) to high (90 Å2) using a blue to red gradient. (e) Close-up view showing the interaction between the P-loop and residues residing in the hinge region of the Ppant blocking loop. Chain A of SaDltA is colored orange (N-lobe) and blue (C-lobe) and chain C of SaDltA is colored gray. |
