Calcium displacement of Lys108. Distances are given in Å. (a) The previously determined structure with the propeptide. Several negatively charged moieties bind to Lys108. (b) Structure 1 exhibits the same conformation as that with the propeptide. (c) In structure 2, Lys108 is displaced by a calcium ion. Coordination of the calcium ion is slightly tighter, but this does not result in any significant changes to the fold; notably, the nearby catalytic residues are unaffected. |
