Figure 7
(a) The Klenow fragment (KF; PDB entry 1d9f; chain A in brown) is superposed on PolI_G20c (PDB entry 7r0k; chain A in ice blue) displayed as tubes. The black line indicates the border between the small and large domain as described by Ollis et al. (1985BB55) and the orange line indicates where the larger, palm domain starts at residue 299 in PolI_G20c and residue 228 in KF (corresponding to residue 551 in full-length DNA polymerase I from E. coli) according to InterPro. (b) Superposition of the best-matching structures based on a search using the DALI server. Chain A of DNA polymerase I from G. stearothermophilus (BF; PDB entry 1knc, gold), KF (PDB entry 2kzz, orange) and Taq polymerase (PDB entry 5ytf, violet) are superposed on chain A of PolI_G20c (ice blue) as ribbons. The structures match very well; however, α-helices 7 and 8 in PolI_G20c differ from all of the other compared enzymes and are part of a novel motif. The images were prepared with CCP4mg.
