Figure 2. Stereo views of the HslUV-NLVS inhibitor complex. (a) View showing the hydrogen bonding interactions of the inhibitor with HslV polypeptide backbone in the HslUV-NLVS complex. Carbon atoms of HslV are green; carbon atoms of inhibitor are gray; nitrogen atoms, blue; oxygen atoms, red; sulfur atom, yellow. (b) Superposition of the substrate binding clefts of HslUV-NLVS and the yeast proteasome with epoxomycin (subunit K of PDB 1G65).[15.] Hydrogen bonds between protein and inhibitor are the same as shown in part (a). Selected residues are labeled with format "HslV#/proteasome#". Color scheme: HslV of HslUV-NLVS complex, green; NLVS inhibitor atoms, cyan; proteasome, red; epoxomycin inhibitor atoms, gold. (c) View showing the inhibitor (semi-transparent CPK model) and the binding pockets of HslUV. HslV protomer to which NLVS is covalently attached is green; adjacent HslV protomer, yellow; HslU, magenta; inhibitor, gray. Selected side chains are included. Carbon atoms are the same color as corresponding protomer; oxygen atoms, red; nitrogen atoms, blue; sulfur atoms, cyan. (d) View showing the displacement of upper strand of substrate binding cleft of uncomplexed HslV [9.] relative to HslUV-NLVS; when lower segments of polypeptides are superimposed, upper segment of uncomplexed HslV is displaced vert, similar 3-4 Å from its position in the HslUV-NLVS complex. For clarity, only selected peptide backbone and C^a atoms of the proteins and "backbone" atoms of the inhibitor are included. Color scheme: HslV of HslUV-NLVS complex, green; NLVS inhibitor atoms, cyan; uncomplexed HslV, magenta. Superpositions were computed with the program LSQMAN.[27.] The Figure was prepared with MOLSCRIPT [28.] and RASTER3D. [26.]
