Figure 6. Comparison of DegS and HtrA2 (Omi)The stereo picture shows an alignment of active DegS (green), inactive DegS (red), and HtrA2 (yellow). The chosen segment comprises DegS residues 195–204 (HtrA2 167–176), which include the active site serine and loop L1 that forms the oxyanion hole. Key residues are indicated as well as the 198 peptide that is important for DegS activation. Notably, the L1 backbone of HtrA2 has a similar turn structure as the inactive DegS.
