Figure 2. Binding Position of Thio and Nosi on the 50S Subunit
(A) Overview of thiopeptide binding site on the D. radiodurans 50S subunit. Interface view of the 50S subunit (rRNA and r-proteins colored light and dark blue, respectively) with the thiopeptide binding site boxed. Enlargement of boxed region reveals that the thiopeptides Thio (cyan) and Nosi (green) bind within a cleft between the N-terminal domain (NTD) of r-protein L11 (yellow) and the 23S rRNA H43 and H44 (orange).
(B and C) 2mF[o] − DF[c] σ[A]-weighted difference electron density maps (meshed) contoured to 2σ with (B) Thio, (C) Nosi, L11-NTD, and H44 colored as in (A).
