Figure 2
The structure of His-GsePNPase. (a) The hexameric biological unit of PNPase. The asymmetric unit contains one-and-a-half dimers (subunits a–c) and the hexamer is generated by a twofold symmetry operation that produces subunits a′–c′. (b) The tertiary structure of a His-GsePNPase subunit. Secondary-structure elements are labelled and helices are coloured blue, β-sheets yellow and loop regions white. The portion of the structure corresponding to the N-terminal tag is coloured green and features a 310-helix (3101). |
