FIGURE 3. Nucleotide-induced domain closure in mjAK. A, an overlay of the ternary complex (yellow ribbons) on the binary complex (blue ribbons) shows that binding of the ATP analog AMP-PNP induces a 12.5° rotation around the hinge bending region (green) of the regulatory domain (light blue) toward the kinase domain (dark blue). B, an expansion of the active site showing the movement of latch loop I into position to form binding interactions with the ribose ring of AMP-PNP and the closing of latch loop II to complete the hydrophobic pocket of adenine ring binding.
