Figure 4
(a) Stereo figure showing the active site of M. fumariolicum SolV (shades of green) superimposed with that of E. coli DapA (light blue/grey). A sulfate (or phosphate; see text) ion is bound in the active site. The residues of the catalytic triad, as well as the catalytic lysine, superimpose closely. (b) Stereo figure showing the putative allosteric pocket in M. fumariolicum SolV (shades of green) superimposed with that in the lysine-inhibited C. jejuni DapA structure (dark red/brown). The residues interacting with the allosteric lysine (Lys) in the C. jejuni structure are conserved in M. fumariolicum SolV DapA, including His56, which is believed to be diagnostic for allosteric regulation. Residues from an adjacent subunit are marked with an apostrophe.
