Figure 1 Thermus thermophilus GluRS crystal structures. (A) Ribbon representation of the ERS/ATP/Glu structure. Five domains, the Rossmann fold (1), connective peptide (or acceptor-binding) (2), stem-contact fold (3) and two anticodon-binding (4 and 5) domains, are colored khaki, light blue, pink, steel blue and deep blue, respectively. The HVGT and KISKR motifs of GluRS are highlighted in purple. The ATP and glutamate molecules in the GluRS catalytic pocket are shown in green. (B) Overall structure of ERS/tRNA/ATP. The ATP and tRNA^Glu molecules in the complex are shown in orange and turquoise, respectively. These figures were produced using the MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991) and RASTER3D (Merritt and Murphy, 1994) programs.
