Fig. 2. Ribbon diagrams of PhzF in the open and closed forms, substrate binding to the active site, and comparison to the active sites of related proteins. Overall structure of PhzF in the open (A) and closed (B) forms. Binding partners are sulfate (A) and 3OHAA (B). Key building blocks of the C-terminal domain in one monomer are color-coded: green, central -helix; blue, eight-stranded -barrel; and red, decorating -helices. Secondary structure is labeled in the other monomer. The surface in B demonstrates the size of the intermonomer cavity in the closed form. (C) Stereoview of DHHA binding to the active site of PhzF. The proposed position of E45 in reprotonation is shown in red. Conserved residues are shown in magenta, and the positions of the catalytic cysteines in DapF are shown in cyan. (D) Active sites of DapF (Left), YddE (Center), and phenazine-biosynthesis protein from Enterococcus faecalis V583 (Right). All structures were prepared with BOBSCRIPT (32).
