Figure 8. Schematic Diagram of Potential Rearrangement in the Clamp Loader Complex upon Nucleotide BindingThis represents a hypothetical sequence of events based on structural and biochemical evidence of conformational changes presented here and in [9]. Only three subunits of the g complex are shown for clarity. Green: d'; red: g1; blue: g2. S1: sensor 1/switch 2 helix a7, containing the SRC motif; P: P loop; S2: sensor 2 helix a10. Close contacts between the subunits are marked by yellow circles. ATP is drawn bound to the g1 subunit (brown circles are for the base and sugar, and white are for the phosphate groups). Arginine from the conserved SRC motif is indicated on the S1 (sensor 1) helices.
