Figure 7. Direct Interaction between Rpb1 His1085 and α-Amanitin and TL Capture May Underlie α-Amanitin Inhibition of Transcription
(A) Overall view of α-amanitin and the new TL conformation and their positions in relation to the Bridge helix (BH). A superpositioned EC structure (PDB 2E2H) showing DNA (magenta), RNA (red), nontemplate DNA (green), and nucleotide GTP (orange) highlights the position of the inhibitor and TL in relation to EC components.
(B) A 90° rotation shows the α-amanitin position in relation to the Bridge helix (BH) and its capture of the TL Rpb1 His1085.
(C) TL residues Rpb1 1084–1086 and the entire α-amanitin modeled into electron density (dark gray mesh) from an initial unbiased 2Fo-Fc electron density map contoured at 0.6 σ.
