Figure 3
Comparison of human NMTs with PvNMT. (a) PvNMT (gray) shares structural topology with the two human NMTs HsNMT1 (yellow) and HsNMT2 (pink). Myr-CoA is shown in green sticks, while IMP-0001173 is shown in blue sticks. (b) An ENDScript surface plot of PvNMT, in the same orientation as in (a), shows that the residues closest to the Myr-CoA- and peptide-binding sites are highly conserved and form an interconnected cavity. Red regions represent higher conserved regions, while white represents regions with low conservation. Myr-CoA is shown in green sticks while IMP-0001173 is shown in blue sticks. |
