Figure 1
(a) Overall structure of LmTBCA. The helices are represented as red ribbons. Ala43 and Pro80 are labelled as the approximate positions of bends in α1 and α2. A sulfate is bound to the surface of α1. (b) A closer view of the anion interacting with Arg45 and Arg49 is shown as gold (S) and red (O) sticks. The arginine residues are coloured by element (C, grey; N, blue) and two water molecules are depicted as red spheres. Blue mesh represents electron density (2mFoDFc contoured at 2σ) and magenta dotted lines indicate potential hydrogen bonds. (c) The LmTBCA monomer (red) and a symmetry-related molecule (orange) are linked by a disulfide bond between Cys58 residues with side-chain atoms shown as sticks (C, grey; S, gold). The OMIT Fo − Fc density for the side-chain atoms of Cys58 and the symmetry mate is depicted as chickenwire and contoured at 2σ. (d) Backbone hydrogen bonds on α2. The expanded area is a stereoview of α1 and α3 as purple ribbons. α2 is depicted as pale pink ribbons (left) or as sticks coloured by element (right). Black dashed lines represent standard α-helical hydrogen bonds. Pro80 disrupts this bonding pattern. The magenta line between Pro80 N and Gln76 O represents a distance of 4.20 Å.
