FIGURE 5. Interactions between FabI and ACP. A, interactions between ACP (cyan) and FabI (green) at the helix 2 (ACP)-helix 8 (FabI) interface. B, interactions between crotonyl-pantetheine and FabI. The pantetheine (cyan) is hydrogen bonded to residues in FabI helix 8 (green). FabI residues in the conserved active site triad (Tyr^146, Tyr^156, and Lys^163) are colored yellow. The crotonyl group of the substrate (cyan) is bound in the s-trans conformation and the crotonyl carbonyl group is oriented toward Tyr^146 (yellow). The C-3 carbon of the crotonyl group is 3 Å from the NADH pro4(S) proton (white). In addition, the NADH ribose (cyan) is hydrogen bonded to Tyr^156 and Lys^163. The figure was made with pymol (64).
