Figure 1 Wild-type Kar3 and mutated residues. (A) The conserved switch I (SwI, green) and switch II (SwII, cyan) residues are indicated in Kar3+N11 together with helices 3 and 4 (gray). The switch II loop between R632 and the end of helix 4 (dotted line) is disordered and is not present in the model. Residues mutated in the Kar3 N650K uncoupling mutant (gray), Kar3 SwII R632A mutant (gray) and Kar3 salt-bridge mutants (R598A, green; E631A, cyan) are shown space-filled and enlarged in (B). (B) N650 of the Kar3 N650K uncoupling mutant interacts with R632 of SwII in wild-type Kar3. The salt bridge forms between R598 of SwI and E631 of SwII in wild-type Kar3. ADP (black) and Mg2+ (red) are shown as ball-and-stick models. Figure produced using RIBBONS (Carson, 1997).
