Figure 3.
Fig. 3. (a) The topology of RLuc8's α/β-hydrolase fold domain. α-Helices are shown in blue, and β-sheets are shown in red. Numbering/lettering of the sheets/helices is done with respect to the standard for α/β-hydrolases,^33 and the locations of the presumptive catalytic residues are marked. The cap domain is an excursion from the fold pattern composed of residues 146–230 in the luciferase. (b) The domains of RLuc8. Shown are the locations of the cap domain (in gray) and α/β-hydrolase fold domain (blue to red) in the context of the crystal structure. (c) Close-up stereo cartoon representation of the active site of the RLuc8:diammonium structure. The presumptive active site residues are color coded with respect to the average degree of enzymatic perturbation mutagenesis at the site yields, based on published data.^22^,^23 Mutations at green-, yellow-, and orange-colored residues were associated with <1%, 1–10%, and 10–100%, respectively, of full enzymatic activity.
