Figure 4.
Figure 4. Ribbon diagrams and molecular surface representations of CheW. a, Ribbon diagrams of the minimized average structure of CheW. The two views are rotated 90° about the x-axis. The order of the secondary structural elements is indicated. Positions of absolutely conserved residues are shown as balls; Gly 51, in red; and Arg 56, Gly 57, Gly 92 and Gly 124, in green. b, Chemical shift perturbations in CheW due to binding of CheA^354 -671, mapped to a molecular surface representation of CheW calculated from its minimized average structure. Color ramp from white to red indicates 0 Hz to 150 Hz change. Gray indicates no available data. c, Location of Tsr repressor mutations (green) mapped onto the surface of CheW. d, Combined map (a + b) of CheA interaction sites and repressor mutations mapped to molecular surface of CheW. Overlap between the two sites is shown in yellow. Surface representations were created with GRASP34, after removal of the N-terminal nine amino acids for clarity.
