Figure 4
(a) Overlay of the putative LmoMenD (PDB entry 9e9b; green) and MtbMenD (PDB entry 6o0j; grey) DHNA (orange) binding sites. Residues hypothesized to fulfil equivalent functions to a particular M. tuberculosis arginine-cage constituent are in bold, with LmoMenD Lys325 potentially able to fulfil the function of MtbMenD Arg277 or Arg303. (b) Surface representation of the MtbMenD (PDB entry 6o0j; grey) allosteric site showing the DHNA (orange) binding pocket. (c) Surface representation of the LmoMenD (PDB entry 9mnn; green) putative allosteric site, highlighting the requirement of induced-fit conformational changes to accommodate DHNA (orange) binding.
