Figure 6.
Fig. 6. Surface representations illustrating the binding surfaces involved in the IIA^Mtl-HPr (left panel), IIA^Glc-HPr (middle panel), and EIN-HPr (right panel) complexes. The binding surfaces on IIA^Mtl, IIA Glc, and EIN are shown in A, and the binding surfaces on HPr are shown in B. The binding surfaces are color-coded with hydrophobic residues in green, polar residues in light blue, the active site histidines in purple, positively charged residues in dark blue, and negatively charged residues in red. The relevant portions of the backbone of HPr are shown in gold in A; the relevant portions of the backbone of IIA^Mtl, IIA^Glc, and EIN are shown in blue, red, and green, respectively, in B. The location of the phosphoryl group in the transition state is depicted in yellow. Residues of HPr are labeled in italics. The coordinates of the EIN-HPr and IIA^Glc-HPr complexes are taken from Garrett et al. (16) (code 3EZE) and Wang et al. (17) (code 1GGR), respectively.
