Figure 1.
FIGURE 1. Electron density of the bound ligands and overall fold of Ta LplA. A, 2F[o] - F[c] electron density maps of the bound ligands. Atoms of the ligands are also labeled. B, ribbon diagram of Ta LplA. Secondary structure elements were assigned by PROMOTIF (26). -Helices, -strands, and loops are colored in red, blue, and yellow, respectively. Lipoyl-AMP bound near the center of LplA is shown in sticks. All the figures except Fig. 3 are drawn with PyMOL (DeLano, 2002, The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System, www.pymol.org). C, topology diagram of Ta LplA. -Strands are shown as triangles and -helices as circles. D, stereo C trace of Ta LplA. Every tenth residue is marked by a black dot, and every twentieth residue is labeled. Three signature sequence motifs are highlighted in colored lines: motif I (RRXXGGGXV(F/Y)HD at positions 71-82) in red, motif II (KhXGXA at positions 145-150) in green, and motif III (HXX(L/M)LXXX(D/N)LXXLXXhL at positions 161-177) in blue, respectively.
