Structure of C290A:C393A Aurora A. (a) The main chain of C290A:C393A Aurora A is shown as a cartoon, with ADP and the side chain of phospho-Thr288 as sticks and magnesium ions as grey spheres. (b) The activation loop of C290A:C393A Aurora A is ordered and the tracing of the chain is unambiguous. The wire mesh shows a 2mFo − DFc electron-density map contoured at 1.0σ in the vicinity of Thr287 and phospho-Thr288. |
