β-Mercaptoethanol- or glutathione-adduct Cys777 residue of TLR15TIR. (a) An electron-density map (gray meshes; 3.0σ in Fo − Fc OMIT map) for the β-mercaptoethanol-adduct Cys777 residue (carbon, light blue; oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue; sulfur, yellow) in the TLR15TIR structure. (b) An electron-density map (gray meshes; 3.0σ in Fo − Fc OMIT map) for the glutathione-adduct Cys777 residue (carbon, magenta; oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue; sulfur, yellow) in the TLR15TIR-GTT structure. (c) β-Mercaptoethanol- and glutathione-adduct Cys777 residues (light blue and magenta ball-and-stick models, respectively) from the overlaid TLR15TIR and TLR15TIR-GTT structures (gray Cα traces), respectively. (d) Glutathione adduct (magenta ball-and-stick model) in the dent of the TLR15TIR-GTT structure (gray surfaces). Glutathione consists of Gly, Cys and Glu moieties. (e) Interactions between TLR15 and glutathione in the TLR15TIR-GTT structure. The glutathione molecule that is linked to TLR15 Cys777 (cyan sticks) is shown as a magenta ball-and-stick model. The glutathione-binding residues of TLR15 are depicted as green sticks on gray transparent ribbons representing the TLR15TIR-GTT structure. Hydrogen bonds between glutathione and TLR15 residues are represented by black dotted lines. |
