Figure 6. Mechanism of Gate Opening in the 20S Induced by PAN and PA26 Complexes
(A) (Left) Overlay of the α ring structures, before and after the binding of the gate-opening peptides. (Right) Enlarged view of the dashed area from the left. Pro17 is shifted because of the rotation in α subunit.
(B) (Left) Overlay of the structure of the α ring, before and after PA26 binding. (Right) Enlarged view of the dashed area. Pro17 is shifted by the activation loop of PA26 (data not shown). Notice that Pro17 in red and magenta structures is in a similar position.
