FIG. 6. Superimposed structures of the vicinity of linker peptides and bound adenylates in adenylate forming enzyme complexes in stereo. The adenylate complexed enzymes of the known structures, DhbE (Protein Data Bank code 1mdb [PDB] ) (30), PheA (Protein Data Bank code 1amu [PDB] ) (29), SC-FACS (Protein Data Bank code 1pg3 [PDB] ) (31), and ttLC-FACS (this work) are superimposed around each bound adenosine moiety. The backbone of the linker region (Lys431-Asp-Arg-Leu-Lys-Asp-Leu437) including the L motif in ttLC-FACS complex structure and the corresponding peptides are presented as wire models (ttLC-FACS, thick violet; SC-FACS, red violet; DhbE, blue; PheA, light green). The bound myristoyl-AMP in the ttLC-FACS is represented as by thick green sticks, and other bound adenylates each shown in thin colored sticks. Arg433 and Lys439 of ttLC-FACS and the corresponding residues are also shown.
