Figure 2.
Figure 2: Stereoview of the primer C74-C75 and the incoming ATP. a, [A]-Weighted simulated-annealing F[o] - F[c] omit maps contoured at 3.5 around C74-C75 and AMPcPP. The carbon atoms of Aa.LC, tRNA and AMPcPP are coloured white, pink and blue, respectively. b, Recognition of the incoming ATP. Ball-and-stick representations of tRNA C75, AMPcPP and the ATP-interacting residues are shown on the Aa.LC head and neck domains. The colouring scheme is the same as in Fig. 1. c, Recognition of the C74-C75 terminus. Ball-and-stick representations of tRNA A73-C74-C75, AMPcPP and the tRNA-interacting residues are shown. Phe 106 and the Asp105 -Arg155 pair, which are part of the 'stacking arc', are also shown in ball-and-stick representation. In b and c, hydrogen bonds are shown as dotted lines.
