Figure 4. The Crystal Structure of the R2i-R LBD Reveals Closely Opposed Arg743 Side Chains; C ζ Distance = 3.9 Å
(A) Sequence alignment depicting amino acid changes between flip and flop, starting at position 744; the R/G site (743) is shown in bold. Alternative residues are indicated in color. Helices J and K (light blue bars) are drawn above the sequences. Note that the cluster of changes comprising position 775–779 is not included in the structure.
(B) Side view of the glutamate-bound flip/R LBD dimer. The two subunits are color coded (chain A in cyan, chain C in yellow). Arg743 is indicated in stick.
(C) Superposition of the flip/R (yellow) and flop/G LBDs (gray; top view). Alternative residues, 743–745, are shown in stick: flip residues, black; flop residues, white; positions are indicated on one protomer only. Helices D and J are denoted.
(D) Fo-Fc electron densities for Arg743 side chains. Contour level was 0.16 e/Å^3. The figure was drawn with CCP4mg.
