Figure 4 Interactions of the two DsbC active sites with DsbD residues. (A) Stereo diagram of the primary binding site showing the DsbC active site interacting with DsbD . The primary binding surface of DsbD is shown colored according to the calculated electrostatic potential using GRASP. Negative charges are colored red and positive charges are in blue. Important DsbC residues (Ile96−Leu104, Gly181−Val185) are shown in blue ball-and-stick and cartoon representation. DsbC residues are labeled in black and DsbD residues in green. DsbC Tyr100 binds into an uncharged pocket adjacent to the DsbD active site Cys109, which forms a disulfide bond with DsbC Cys98 and hydrogen bonds to the cis-proline loop, Thr182−Pro183. (B) Stereo diagram of the secondary binding site. The electrostatic surface of the DsbD secondary binding site is presented with DsbD residues labeled in green. The DsbC active region is shown in green ball-and-stick and ribbons representation with yellow labels. DsbD Asp21 interacts with the DsbC active site Cys98 and Gly99, while Tyr100 packs against DsbD Phe22.
