Figure 2
The closed-like EhCRT structure reveals a complex conformational rearrangement. (a) Superposition of the open and closed EhCRT conformers focusing on the different junction and P conformations. The same colour code is used as in Fig. 1[link](a). The linker serine residue moves 26 Å away. (b, c) Side-by-side comparison of the open and closed states, with emphasis on the tilt of the P domain. The stable Trp and disulfide bond at the edge of the lectin-binding site (PBS) are shown on the right. (d) Details of the junction interaction in the closed conformation. (e, f) Comparative side-by-side views of the unusual conformational rearrangements in α1, J_N and β11.
