Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Stereoviews of three conformations of MsbA. (A) Nucleotide bound. (B) Open apo. (C) Closed apo. One monomer in each model is colored with a rainbow gradient (N terminus is blue, C terminus is red), and the other is white. TM helices (TM1–TM6), extracellular loops (EL1–EL3), and intracellular helices (IH1–IH2) are labeled accordingly. AMPPNP molecules are displayed as blue sticks in the nucleotide-bound structure. In all structures, TM4/TM5/IH2 (yellow and orange) associates with the opposite monomer in a conserved manner.
