Figure 3. Comparison of the architectures of the metallo-hydrolases having disordered (a/b)[8] barrels. (a) Arrangement of b-strands composing the barrels. Corresponding main-chain atoms of the b-strands are superimposed by least-squares fitting. The strands of subunit A of the hrDP are shown as yellow arrows; urease in sky-blue, phosphotriesterase in orange, and adenosine deaminase in red. The strands labeled b1 through b8 are sequentially arranged from the N-terminal side in each polypeptide. (b) Superimposition of the metal ions and ligands through least-squares fitting. The metal ions and ligand groups of the hrDP subunit A are drawn in yellow, urease in sky-blue, and phosphotriesterase in orange. Carbamoyllysine ligands are represented with Carb-K labels. The fittings in (a) and (b) were calculated independently.
