Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. Secondary structure elements of PhTET1. A, schematic representation of the PhTET1-12s dimer along the 2-fold symmetry axis, as it appears viewed from the exterior of the dodecameric complex (see Fig. 3A, left). In each monomer, catalytic domains are colored in orange and magenta, dimerization domains in blue, and cobalt ions in green. Dimerization is achieved through formation of contacts between the dimerization domain of one monomer and a mixed four-stranded -sheet (magenta) present in the catalytic domain of the other monomer. B, multiple sequence alignment indicating the secondary structure elements in PhTET1, assigned with DSSP (38), colored as in A. The abbreviations and GenBank^TM accession numbers of the sequences are as follows: TET1, P. horikoshii TET1 (AP000002); TET2, P. horikoshii TET2 (AP000006); YsdC, B. subtilis YsdC protein (Z75208, Z99118); and AAP, aminopeptidase Ap1 from Vibrio proteolyticus (M85159, Z11993). The conserved metal-binding residues are indicated by a ball and the catalytic residues by a star (according to the MEROPS data base assignment).
