Figure 3.
A, overlay of the active site of E. coli wtGSb (in yellow and atom colored) and E377A (in green). B, structural comparison of ADP, glucose binding site, and active site residues between EcGS (in yellow and atom colored, wtGSb), MalP (blue, PDB 2asv), rabbit R-GP (pink, PDB 1gpa), OtsA (green, 1uqu), WaaG (orange, PDB 2iw1), and AGT (cyan, PDB 1y6f). MalP PO[43]^āˆ’, ASO, and maltopentaose occupied the equivalent positions of the ADP distal phosphate group, glucose, and HEPPSO in the wtGSb structure, respectively. Residues are labeled according to EcGS sequence except for AGT Glu-306. Structural alignment again using TURBO-FRODO and the Cα carbons of the active site residues. C, left, overlay of NDP-sugar in OtsA, AGT, WaaG, and ADP and glucose in wtGSb. The color scheme and PDB used are the same as described in B. Right, comparison of ligands in MalP (PDB 2asv, blue, PLP + PO[4]^3āˆ’ + ASO and PDB 1l5v, red, PLP + Glc-1-P, in sticks) and in GP (PDB 1noi, lemon, PLP + PO[4]^3āˆ’ + nojirimycine tetrazole; PDB 2gpb, teal, PLP + glucose; PDB 3gpb, pink, PLP + Glc-1-P, in lines).
