Figure 3. GTPase Active Site in the PRG-rgRGS:Gα13•GDP•AlF[4]^− Complex
(A) Electron density (cages) at the active site from a 2.25 Å σ[A]−weighted 2F[o]−F[c] difference map (Read, 1986) is contoured at 1.6 standard deviations above the mean. Only densities of the PRG-rgRGS N terminus, GDP•Mg^2+•AlF[4]^− and the axial water molecule bound to AlF[4]^− are shown. Hydrogen bonds are drawn as dotted lines.
(B) Structural comparison of active sites from PRG-rgRGS:Gα13•GDP•AlF[4]^− complex and p115-rgRGS:Gα13/i1•GDP•AlF[4]^− complex. Elements from Gα13/i1 are colored gray and the N terminus of p115-rgRGS is colored brown.
(C) Stimulation of GTPase activity of Gα13 by increasing concentrations of wild-type and mutated PRG-rgRGS. Amino acids mutated in PRG-rgRGS are colored red.
