Figure 1. Crystal Structure of p97 N D1 Domain(A) Ribbon representation of N D1 protomer structure. The domains are colored individually, with the N-terminal double ψ barrel domain (yellow), β barrel domain (gold), the D1 α/β domain (cyan), and the C-terminal α-helical domain (blue). Also highlighted are the Walker A (P loop) motif (black), Walker B (DExx box) motif (mauve), sensor loop (red), and the proposed hinge region between the N and D1 domains (magenta). Bound ADP nucleotide is shown as balls and sticks. For clarity, only the secondary structure elements discussed in the text are labeled.(B) A close-up view of the N D1 interface (boxed region in [A]). A small rotation was applied to optimize the view of the interface.(C) The N D1 hexamer forms a wheel-like structure of vert, similar 160 Å in diameter and a central hole vert, similar 15 Å in diameter. One protomer is colored as in (A). The α/β domain fold (cyan) forms the spokes of the wheel, while the helical domain (blue) forms the outer rim. N-terminal domains (yellow) are oriented counterclockwise off the main body of the wheel. Bound ADP moieties (brown) drawn as Van der Waal spheres are located between protomers. The arrow indicates the ADP binding pocket.(D) The N D1 hexamer is rotated 90° (relative to Figure 1C) so that the amino-terminal side is on top. The thickness of N D1 is vert, similar 20–40 Å. The N domain lies in the same plane as D1 and spans a similar thickness. Note the ADP moieties (brown spheres) bound in deep pockets.(E) A close-up view of the hexamer interface (boxed in [C]). For clarity, only secondary structure elements discussed in the text are labeled. The dashed line indicates the protomer–protomer interface. The sensor residues (Asn-348, yellow; Arg-359, blue) are shown as sticks near the interface.
