Figure 1. Overall Structure of DgkB and a Close-Up of the Nucleotide-Binding Site
(A) Cartoon diagram of the DgkB monomer in the asymmetric unit. α helices are gray, and β strands and loops are green. ADP carbons and Mg1 (sphere) are cyan. Secondary structure elements are labeled. Disordered residues 145–157 are absent in the final model and are indicated with a broken line. The predicted locations of the insertions in human diacylglycerol kinases (see Figure 2) are labeled IN1–3.
(B) Stereo cartoon of the YegS structure (PDB code: 2BON, chain A) superimposed on DgkB. The orientations of domains 1 and 2 differ slightly in the two structures, and, to highlight their structural similarity, each domain of YegS was superimposed independently onto the DgkB structure. DgkB is colored as shown in (A), and YegS is tan. Disordered residues are indicated with broken lines. Significant differences reside in the predicted DgkB substrate-binding region (β8-α6 loop), which is highlighted in bright green, and the corresponding YegS region is brown.
(C) Stereo close-up view of the DgkB nucleotide-binding site with omit electron density for ADP contoured to 3σ. Bound waters are shown as red spheres. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by broken lines.
