Fig. 2. The binding site for I1–60His in bovine F[1]-ATPase. (A and B) Ribbon and solid representations, respectively, of the binding site groove formed from -helices and loops between them in the C-terminal domains of the [DP]-, [DP]-, and [TP]- subunits, occupied by the long helix (residues 21–50) of I1–60His (light blue). The N- and C-terminal ends of the I1–60HIS are labeled N and C, respectively, in A. (B) The orange side chains are those of the strictly conserved residues Lys-24, Arg-25, and Glu-26 of I1–60His that do not interact with F[1]-ATPase. (C and D) Interactions between residues 8–46 and F[1]-ATPase. (C) View from the side of the central stalk showing the orientation of I1–60His relative to the -subunit. The N- and C-terminal ends of the I1–60HIS are labeled N and C, respectively. (D) View down along the axis of the -subunit showing the interaction of the short helix with the -subunit and the interaction between the extended region formed by residues 10–12 of I1–60His and side chains in the nucleotide binding domain of the [E]-subunit.
