Figure 2. Nucleotide Binding by D2(A) Stereo view of the refined 2F[o]−F[c] electron density map within 2.4 Å of AMPPNP, contoured at 1.5 σ. The refined model is shown with AMPPNP and Mg^2PLUSPUSSIGN in black, and protein and water molecules in white. The figure was prepared with BOBSCRIPT ([18]).(B) Stereo view of nucleotide-binding site. AMPPNP is shown with black bonds. White, light gray, dark gray, and black spheres denote carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus atoms, respectively. Mg^2PLUSPUSSIGN is shown as a larger black sphere. Water molecules are shown as single oxygen atoms. Hydrogen bonds are shown as thin dashed lines; Mg^2PLUSPUSSIGN coordination bonds are shown as thick dashed lines. For clarity, the backbone at position 510 and the water molecule that interacts with the α-phosphate oxygens (see [C]) are not shown.(C) Schematic diagram of the interactions between AMPPNP and D2. Water molecules are indicated by “W.” Hydrogen and Mg^2PLUSPUSSIGN coordination bonds are indicated with dashed lines. Main-chain amide and carbonyl oxygen groups that interact with the ligand are shown emanating from the box surrounding the residue name, and side chain functionalities are shown schematically. Nonpolar van der Waals contacts are indicated by arcs. In (B) and (C), the asterisk at Lys-639 designates that this residue comes from an adjacent protomer in the D2 hexamer. This lysine appears to be only partially occupied, and its interaction with Oγ of AMPPNP is likely replaced by a water molecule in a fraction of the molecules in the crystal (see text).
