Figure 4.
Fig. 4. The dimer model of E. coli SufC and the conservation of the surface residues among the SufC orthologs. (A) A ribbon representation of the SufC dimer with the D-loops at the interface highlighted by thick lines. The model was obtained by superimposing two SufC structures onto the ATP-bound HlyB (H662A) dimer (PDB: 1XEF). Two ATP molecules at the interface of the HlyB dimer are included in the model (black sticks). The ABC signature motifs are shown in yellow. (B) A ConSurf image in the same orientation as in (A) for the SufC family. Conserved residues are shown in magenta, whereas variable sites are shown in white and highly variable sites in blue. (C) The ConSurf surface rotated 90° relative to the y-axis of the images shown in (A) and (B).
