Figure 2. Crystal Structure of the MJ0796-E171Q ATP Sandwich DimerThe stereo ribbon diagrams (Kraulis 1991 and Merritt and Bacon 1997) are color coded according to subdomain organization, with the F1-type ATP binding core shown in orange, the antiparallel β subdomain in green, the α-helical subdomain in blue, and the γ-phosphate linker in red. This color scheme is equivalent to that used by Yuan et al. (2001), except for the presentation of the γ-phosphate linker in red. See Figure 3B for the location of the subdomains in the primary structure of the protein.(A) Overall dimer structure. The bound Na-ATP molecules are shown in space-filling representations, with the nucleotides shown in magenta and the cation cofactors shown in yellow. Sidechains contacting either the nucleotides or the other subunit are shown in ball-and-stick representations, color-coded according to the subdomain of origin; see Figure 3A for a detailed contact diagram including the identity of all of these residues. As shown here, the proximal face of the ABC contacts the TM domains in the crystal structure of MsbA (Chang and Roth, 2001).(B) Active site stereochemistry. Lighter shades are used to indicate segments coming from the “A” subunit whose Walker A motif is interacting with the nucleotide, while darker shades are used to indicate segments coming from the “B” subunit whose LSGGQ signature motif is interacting with the nucleotide. The dotted lines indicate H bonds and are colored to correspond to the donor group participating in the interaction. The yellow sphere indicates the Na^+ cofactor of the nucleotide. The turquoise spheres indicate water molecules, with the rightmost one being the putative hydrolytic water.
