(a) Superimposition of the (green) and SrsEssCD3 (PDB entry 6vt1, dark blue) crystal structures showing details of their degenerated ATP-binding sites. Residues occupying key positions for nucleotide/magnesium interaction and hydrolysis are labelled and represented as sticks. The Walker A, Walker B and Sensor 1 motifs of are coloured following the same colour code as in Fig. 2. (b) Superimposition of DSF profiles in the absence (control) and presence of ADP–AlF3 (4 mM) and Mg2+ (5 mM). The failure of ADP–AlF3/Mg2+ to stabilize the domain structure against thermal denaturation was consistent with a lack of nucleotide binding. (c) ITC titration of ATP (1.3 mM) into (60 µM) and buffer C (black and blue data, respectively). The upper and lower panels show raw thermograms and normalized heat effect per mole of ATP injected versus ATP: molar ratio, respectively. |
