Figure 1. Crystal Structure of the HK853[CP]-RR468 Complex and Expanded Views of the Contacts within the Complex
(A and B) Ribbon diagrams of the complex viewed from the cell membrane along the twofold axis (indicated with a black ellipse) (A) or perpendicularly to this axis (B), with the cell membrane and the cell interior at the top and bottom, respectively. The α helices of each HK protomer are colored blue (HK853[CP]) and cyan (HK853[CP]^*), and the two RR468 molecules are shown in gold (RR468) and light yellow (RR468^*), although β strands are colored red in all cases. In (B), the RR468 molecule at the back has been omitted for clarity. The side chains of the phosphoacceptor H260 and D53 residues and the bound sulfate and ADPβN molecules are illustrated in stick representation. In one protomer of each HK853[CP] and RR468, secondary structure elements and relevant loops have been labeled.
(C) Six-helix bundle formed by the DHp domains of the two HK853[CP] subunits (blue and cyan, and abbreviated HK) and by the α1 helices of both RR468 molecules (red and magenta, and abbreviated RR). The orientation is similar to that in (B). Loop β5-α5 is also shown for the RR molecule in the front.
(D) Interactions between the β3-α3 loop of RR468 and the ATP lid and β4-α4 loop of the CA domain of HK853, to illustrate the interposition of the ATP lid between the secluded nucleotide and His260 of the same subunit.
(E) Interactions of the RR468 β4-α4 loop (green) with the DHp-CA interdomain linker (cyan). Side chains of interacting residues are shown with broken lines indicating polar bonds.
