Figure 3. Comparison of the heme orientation of Ch-CooA (green) and Rr-CooA (cyan). His82 of Ch-CooA and His77 of Rr-CooA are superimposed. The meso α–γ axis is shown as a dotted line. The heme is rotated by vert, similar 30° about the normal of the heme plane in Im-bound Ch-CooA relative to Rr-CooA. In Im-bound Ch-CooA, the heme propionates interact with Lys194 in the DNA-binding domain and Arg84 in the effector-binding domain, while the heme propionate of Rr-CooA interacts with Arg4 in the N-terminal region.
