Figure 5.
Fig. 5. A model for the conversion between the up-extended and down-folded subunits in F[1]. (Upper Right) Top view (from the cytoplasmic side) of a model structure of the up-extended subunit in the [3][3] complex on the basis of the crystal structure of the MF[1] [3] [3] complex (PDB ID code 1E79, Upper Left). Only N-terminal domain of MF[1] is shown. The C-terminal domain of TF[1] is represented by blue poles (stable helices in Fig. 3 B and C) and coils (flexible helices). Only C-terminal domains of the and subunits are depicted. (Lower Right) Side view from the bottom side of the top figure. (Lower Left) Side view of the folded . The rotation of the axle is clockwise on ATP hydrolysis.
