Figure 1.
Fig. 1. The three-dimensional structure of (A) endopolygalacturonase I and (B) endopolygalacturonase II with the N- and C-termini indicated, viewed onto β-sheet PB2a (yellow). PB2b (blue) is the bottom β-sheet. PB1 is shown in green and PB3 is shown in red. The active site (Asp186, Asp207 and Asp208) is visible at the top, between the T1 loop regions (on the right side) and the T3 loop regions (on the left side). The glycosylation of endopolygalacturonase I and the loops bordering the active site cleft are shown in ball-and-stick representation (endopolygalacturonase I residues 124–128 (left) and 299–301 (right), endopolygalacturonase II residues 121–123 (left) and 293–295 (right)). The smallest distance at the entry of the active site cleft is indicated with a dashed line and the value is shown [34]. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
