Crystal structure of Rho. (a) Overall view of Rho in broken-staircase conformation with ATP bound. (b) Single subunit of Rho with ATP bound. The six subunits are shown separately and ATP is shown as red spheres. The dashed circle identifies the N-terminal ∼50 residues of the Rho subunit positioned at the break in the hexameric staircase arrangement; this region has rearranged in this subunit relative to the conformation exhibited in the other five subunits. |
