Fig. 1. Apical domain constructs of GroEL. A, GroEL apical domain constructs indicating the amino acid residues included and modifications made in the proteins expressed for these studies. B, ribbon diagram showing a comparison of the overall structures of five independent GroEL apical domains: C-His ApEL (determined here) ( purple), N-His ApEL (22) (red), ApEL-(191-336)·peptide complex (19) (yellow), intact WT GroEL (9) (blue), and a GroEL·ADP complex (45) (green). The diagram shows the conformational flexibility in the region around helices H and I. C, r.m.s. deviation plot showing the differences in C- positions between C-His ApEL and N-His ApEL (22) (unbroken line), and C-His ApEL and an ApEL-(191-336)·peptide complex (19) (dotted line).
