Figure 3: Auto-cleaving mechanism of EscU. a, Non-cleaved type I -bend of P263A (left), the non-cleaved type II beta bend of N262A (middle left), the non-cleaved type II beta bend of N262Di (middle right) and the native cleaved loop with a flipped His 265 (right). Note the identical conformations of the N, C, C and C at position 262 in all uncleaved forms. All maps are sigma-A weighted 2F[o] - F[c] electron density (1.5 ); water molecules are represented by the red spheres. b, Detailed mechanism for the asparagine cyclization in EscU.
