Figure 5. The seventh Ca^2+-binding site. (a) A stereo view of electron density around the Ca-7 site of the mature form is shown. The 2F[o]–F[c] map contoured at the 1.5σ and 5.0σ levels are shown in blue and magenta, respectively. The calcium ion and the water molecules are represented by cyan and red spheres, respectively. The residues and water molecules that coordinate with the calcium ion are labeled. (b) The structures of the Ca-7 sites of the autoprocessed form (lime green), mature form (orange), and unautoprocessed form 2 (gray) are superimposed. The residues that coordinate with the calcium ion are shown as a stick model.
