Figure 5.
Figure 5 Least-squares fit of C chains of the ten subunits of the decamer, plus the three structures 4PTI, 5PTI and 6PTI crystallized in phosphate. The locations of the binding zones of thiocyanates are indicated by dashed circles with respect to this common target molecule. The two phosphate anions of 5PTI and 6PTI structures are also reported - they correspond to the anionic site 1. Due to non-crystallographic symmetry considerations, the three anionic sites correspond to four different binding zones. Site 1 and site 1' are equivalent within each pentamer (molecules SCN1-SCN3) e.g. thiocyanate-labelled SCN1 lies in site 1 for subunit G and in site 1' for subunit F. Site 3 (SCN4-SCN7) is in the vicinity of residues 47-49 of dimers A/F, B/J, C/I and E/G, while site 4 (SCN8-SCN10) connects pairs of Lys46 from two different pentamers: D/I, B/F and H/E.
