Figure 1 Overall architecture of E. coli L/F-transferase. (A) Stereo view of the E. coli L/F-transferase structure. The NH[2]-terminal domain (residues 2–62) and the COOH-terminal domain (residues 63–232) are colored blue and green, respectively. The puromycin bound to the hydrophobic pocket is colored yellow. (B) Topology diagram of L/F-transferase. The rimmed elements in the COOH-terminal domain ( 3– 5) and ( 5– 12) are common to the GNAT superfamily fold. The -helices and -strands in the COOH-terminal domains are colored red and yellow, respectively. (C) Comparison of the structures of E. coli L/F-transferase (left), W. viridescens FemX (wvFemX; middle, PDB accession number 1P4N; Biarrotte-Sorin et al, 2004) and S. aureus FemA (saFemA; PDB accession number 1LRZ; Benson et al, 2002). The COOH-terminal domain of L/F-transferase is topologically similar to the domain 2's of wvFemX and saFemA. The conserved -helices and -strands in L/F-transferase, wvFemX and saFemA, are colored red and yellow, respectively.
