Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Superimposition of the ATB17-isovalerate complex (pink, large domain; gray, small domain) and the wild-type AspAT-maleate complex (purple). The backbone of one subunit of ATB17, of which the large domain (residues 49-325) was superimposed on that of the wild-type AspAT (31), is indicated by a thick line. The NH[2]- and COOH termini of the subunit are indicated (N and C). The side chains of the residues that were mutated in ATB17 are shown as follows: the two clusters of the residues (see text) are in red and green, and the other residues are in light blue. The coenzyme, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (yellow), and the bound valine analog, isovalerate (dark blue), are also shown. Maleate of the wild-type AspAT-maleate complex is omitted. Figs. 2 and 4 were produced with MOLSCRIPT and RASTER 3D (32-34).
