Figure 2. Architecture of arginine-sensitive NAGK. The TmNAGK ((a) and (b)) or PaNAGK ((e) and (f)) hexamers are viewed ((a) and (e)) along or ((b) and (f)) perpendicularly to the molecular 3-fold axis. Each homodimer is coloured differently. In (a) and (b) arginine, and in (e) and (f) MgADP and NAG are represented in space-filling representation and coloured. In (a) and (e) the arrowpoints indicate the interlaced N helices at one junction. (c) TmNAGK and (d) EcNAGK26 homodimers, viewed along their 2-fold axes. The N and C lobes are in blue and green, respectively, and the N helix is in red. In (c) arginine is shown in space-filling representation, and coloured. The ligands shown in (d) are in ball and stick representation, and are NAG and AMPPNP.
