Figure 4. Differences between the complex structures of WT and GPLGS-WT. (a) Inhibitor N3. (b) Superposition of the substrate-binding pockets in protomer A of GPLGS-WT and that in protomer A* of WT. In the WT-N3 complex structure, the NH[2] group of Ser1 in protomer B* was still hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate group of Glu166 and the carbonyl group of Phe140 in protomer A*, stabilizing the S1 pocket. In the GPLGS-WT-N3 complex structure, however, the two hydrogen bonds described above were not found. Instead, an ordered water molecule was observed in the S1 pocket. Protomer A* of WT is in blue; protomer A of GPLGS-WT is in yellow; inhibitor N3 (complexed with WT) is in magenta; inhibitor N3 (complexed with GPLGS-WT) is in red; protomer B* of WT is in green; protomer B of GPLGS-WT is in cyan.
