Figure 2.
Overview of RECQ1 structure. (A) Ribbon representation of a single RECQ1 molecule, viewed from 3 perpendicular orientations. The subdomains are identified by color: Core helicase domain D1, red; core helicase domain D2, blue; zinc motif (ZnD), yellow; helical hairpin (HH), orange; WH domain, green; and the β-hairpin in purple. ADP is shown in space-filling form. (B) E. coli RecQ, colored as in A. [PDB ID code 1OYY (30)] The molecule is viewed in the same orientation as the central view in A, using the D2 domain as a reference. (C) Side-by-side comparison of bacterial RecQ (Left) and human RECQ1 (Right). Arrows indicate the rotations of the various domains. The WH domain rotates 90° around the vertical (compare orientation of helix α1 marked by asterisk), the HH tilts up by 10°, and the D1 rotates away from D2.
