Figure 3.
Figure 3 (A) RIBBONS diagram highlighting the position of E.coli DnaA mutations mapped to the A.aeolicus DnaA model (blue spheres). Identification and phenotype of mutations can be found in Table II. The shaded oval (gray) marks the location of the 12 hinge region reported to play a role in cardiolipin-mediated effects. (B) RIBBONS diagrams of DnaA domain IV and trp repressor DNA-binding domain/DNA complex (Otwinowski et al., 1988) highlighting the closely related HTH motif in gold. Highly conserved residues in the basic loop and the DnaA signature sequences are indicated by spheres. Residues determined by mutagenesis to be critical for DNA binding in E.coli that map to the HTH and the basic loop motifs are highlighted in red. (C) RIBBONS model of the DnaA−DNA complex based on the trp repressor/DNA complex. The positions of the signature sequence motif and the basic loop are indicated.
