Figure 5 Relative movement of the phosphate molecule during the catalytic cycle. The predicted path of the phosphate molecule during catalysis is marked by the position of phosphate (or sulfate) in the [E]-subunits of the yF[1]II complex (blue), the bovine AlF[4]^-:ADP-inhibited structure (Menz et al, 2001) (yellow), and the -phosphate of AMPPNP bound to the [DP]-subunit of the yF[1]I complex (salmon). The structures were superimposed using the P-loop and neighboring catalytic residues ( 151–177, 330–336). The -carbon trace of the P-loop of all three enzymes is shown along with the bound nucleotide and phosphate (or sulfate) of yF[1]II (yellow). The inset shows just the movement of the phosphate relative to the nucleotide. The phosphate bound to [E] (blue) moves to the position in the AlF[4]^-:ADP-inhibited state (yellow) and ends as the -phosphate of ATP in the DP site (as colored). Also shown is the movement of Arg375 in the same path. The distances between the atoms are shown in Å.
