Figure 4
Overlay of part of the ligand-binding sites of the Val58Ile ds-TrpR structure with bound L-Trp (green boxes around the labels for Ile58 and L-Trp) and the dimeric structure of wild-type TrpR with bound 5-methyl L-Trp (PDB entry 6f9k; gray boxes around the labels for Ile58 and 5-MT). For simplicity only a short helical segment (cartoon ribbon) of each TrpR structure was overlaid in an orientation similar to that of Fig. 1(a). Ligands and nearby residues are shown as stick models with red O atoms and blue N atoms. The dotted yellow line indicates the distance between the Ile58 methyl group of Val58Ile ds-TrpR and the ligand 5-methyl group from the overlaid structure of wild-type TrpR with bound 5-MT. |
