Figure 4.
FIGURE 4. A, plot of the difference in distance between -subunit atoms in the ADP·V[i]·Mg·F[1] transition state-like structure reported here aligned with the corresponding -subunit atoms of the ADP·P[i]·F[1] structure (10). The two -subunit structures were aligned and the average distance between corresponding amino acid atoms at each position throughout the sequences (residues 1-399 and 406-477) were calculated and plotted against residue number. The average distance that includes all difference calculations between all corresponding atoms in the two structures is only 0.36 Å. In contrast, difference calculations between corresponding atoms in the two structures that include the P-loop (^156GGAGVGKT^163) gave an average value of 1.0 Å (red line). B, overlay of a stick representation of the P-loop region of the subunit of the ADP·V[i]·Mg·F[1] transition state-like structure reported here with that of the subunit of the ADP·P[i]·F[1] structure (10). The conformational differences in the P-loops of the two structures are clearly delineated as are the relative positions of the -carbon atom of Ala^158. In addition, the overlay shows that V[i] (red) is much nearer the P-loop in the ADP·V[i]·Mg·F[1] structure than is P[i] (green)in the ADP·P[i]·F[1] structure.
