Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Structure of the PknB-mitoxantrone complex. (a) Superposition of the PknB-mitoxantrone complex (in yellow) and the PknB-AMPPCP complex (1O6Y, in cyan). Note the movement of the Gly-rich loop (black arrow). (b) Observed (yellow) and predicted (thin lines) orientations of mitoxantrone within the adenosine-binding cavity (represented as a molecular surface). The electron density map for the inhibitor is contoured at 1σ. (c) Schematic view (represented as in Ref. [26]) of the PknB ATP-binding site showing hydrogen bonding interactions with both the inhibitor (in blue) and AMP-PCP (PDB code 1O6Y).
