Fig. 5. Structure of the formyltransferase. (A) The
tetramer presented as a Ribbon diagram indicates a particularly
extended contact region between subunits 1 (red) and 2 (green)
and the equivalent subunits 3 (blue) and 4 (orange). (B) The
Ribbon diagram of the monomer visualizes the location of the
insertion region (blue), the meander region (black circle), and
the loop between strands 6 and 7 (black arrow). (C) The stereo
C[ ]-plot of the
superimposed monomers of the enzymes from M. barkeri (red), A.
fulgidus (yellow), and M. kandleri (green) documents their
similar fold, in particular, in the core regions of the two
lobes. This figure was generated using the program MOLSCRIPT
(Kraulis 1991).
