Figure 2.
Structures of BPG-1A, BPG-1B and BPG-2. (A–C) Dpo4 is represented as a molecular surface with the polymerase core in cyan and the LF domain in purple; DNA and nucleotide are shown as sticks, and BP–dG is highlighted in orange. BPG-1B and BPG-2 in B and C are rotated 180° relative to BPG-1A in A around the DNA helix axis, to show the extrahelical BP–dG in the gap between the core and LF domains. (D–F) The DNA conformations corresponding to (A–C) as stick models, all with the same orientations as in A. The primer strands are in gray, and incoming dATP is in pink. The single-stranded portion of the template DNA is not shown. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 were generated by using PYMOL (46).
