Figure 3.
Figure 3. Interface of the PolγB Homodimer(A) Dimer interface of PolγB. Left, oriented as in Figure 1B; right, rotated by 120° around the y axis to show the interface in domain 2. Red, atoms that become solvent inaccessible upon dimer formation; yellow, atoms whose accessibility decreases upon dimer formation; blue, waters that are in van der Waals distance to both monomers in the dimer; green, metal bound to main chain carbonyls at the dimer interface. Figure 3A and Figure 5 were prepared with Grasp ( [32]).(B) 2F[o] − F[c] electron density map of the metal binding site. The octahedral coordination sphere of the metal is indicated with dotted lines.(C) Comparison of the dimerization domain of CheA (blue and red subunits, PDB code 1B3Q) with domain 2 of PolγB (green and gray monomers). Helices are shown as cylinders and strands in ball-and-stick with hydrogen bonds as dotted lines. N and C termini are indicated.
