Figure 4. Conformational Changes in the MalK Subunits
(A and B) Ribbon diagram of the MalK (A) open dimer in the inward-facing structure and (B) closed dimer in the outward-facing structure. The two NBDs are colored in green and red, and the regulatory domains are colored in gray. The helical subdomains are indicated and colored in light green or red. The Walker A (WA) and the LSGGQ motifs are colored in blue and yellow, respectively. ATP is shown in stick models.
(C) Stereodiagram of MalK in the resting state. Using the regulatory domains (gray) as the frame of reference, rotations of the two NBDs (green and red) leading to the closed dimer are indicated.
