Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Initiator/origin complex. (A) Schematic of oriC2, highlighting sequences recognized by Orc1-1, Orc1-2, and Orc1-3 paralogs (purple, gray, and teal arrows, respectively). The direction of the purple arrows reflects the 5'-to-3' convention of the mORB consensus sequence; the C2- and C3-site arrows indicate the relative orientations of these repeats. The dashed box denotes the C3/mORB dual site used in the cocrystal structure. DUE, DNA unwinding element. (B) A cartoon of Orc1-1 illustrates the relative orientation of the initiator's subdomains, with the ISM of the AAA+ domain in purple. ADP, black sticks; magnesium ions, magenta sphere. (C) Global architecture of the Orc1-1/Orc1-3 DNA complex. Protein, purple and teal; DNA, orange; ADP, blacksticks; magnesium ions, magenta spheres. (D) Electrostatic surface representations of Orc1-1 and Orc1-3. The yellow line demarcates the boundary between protomers.
