Figure 1.
Figure 1: Structures of the substrate complexes. The same colour scheme is used in all figures. The DNA template, non-template and RNA strands are in red, blue and yellow, respectively. The BH, the TH and the rest of the RNAP molecule are in magenta, cyan and grey, respectively. The insertion and preinsertion NTP analogues and Stl are designated by green, orange and black, respectively. The catalytic Mg^2+ ions (MgI and MgII) are shown as magenta spheres. a, b, Overall views of the ttEC/AMPcPP (a) and EC/AMPcPP/Stl (b) complexes. CC, coiled coil. c, d, Superposition of the NTPs (c, d) and TH (d) in the insertion (green, NTP; cyan, TH) and preinsertion (orange, NTP; blue, TH) complexes.
