Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Structure of CysA: (a) Ribbon diagram of the CysA monomer. The catalytic subdomain of the nucleotide-binding domain is shown in purple, the helical subdomain in red, the linker region in yellow and the regulatory domain in blue (distal β-sandwich) and royal blue (proximal β-sandwich). The location of conserved sequence motifs is indicated by capital letters: ‘Walker’ sites (A, B), D-loop, Q-loop, ABC signature (LSQ), and H motif. (b) Stereo representation of the CysA-2 dimer found in an open state. The monomers were shown in blue and red. For comparison CysA-2 was superimposed with the MalK[eco](open) structure at the front side (red) and with the MalK[eco](close) structure at the back side (green). In addition, the regulatory domains of the CysA-1 monomers are shown in yellow after superimposing with the catalytic domain. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 have the same orientation and were generated using BOBSCRIPT [32].
