Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Close-up views of the active site and the two clusters of the mutated residues. The residues are colored as shown in Fig. 2. The structure of the ATB17-isovalerate complex is indicated by thick gray lines and that of the wild-type AspAT-maleate complex is indicated by thin purple lines. A, several water molecules are introduced into the active site of ATB17 (light blue spheres). One water molecule (WAT1) is located at almost the same position as a water molecule observed in the wild-type AspAT (a purple sphere). Arg292, Val293, and Ser297 belong to the other subunit of the dimer (asterisks). B and C, viewed from the same direction as in Fig. 2.
