Figure 1.
Overall structure of MjPSTK. (A) Ribbon representation of the crystal structure of the MjPSTK dimer, consisting of the N-terminal domain (residues 3–177, blue) and the C-terminal domain (188–231 and 237–252, orange). The AMPPNP molecule is shown as a ball-and-stick model. (B) Surface representations of PSTK (left), rotated 90° (right), consisting of the core region (residues 3–39, 52–117, and 126–177, blue), the A76-binding region (40–51, green) the lid region (118–125, yellow), and the C-terminal domain (188–231 and 237–252, orange), with the active site colored pink. The solvent-accessible surface was calculated with the program MSMS (26). The AMPPNP molecule is shown as a ball-and-stick model. The white and black arrows show the width and the depth, respectively, of the tRNA binding groove.
