Figure 1. Structure of ATP-DnaA. (a) Overlay of the four DnaA monomers in the asymmetric unit. The AAA+ module is colored green and red (domains IIIA and IIIB, respectively); domain IV, the DNA-binding element, is yellow. The ATP analog AMP-PCP is shown as black sticks. The helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif in domain IV and the N and C termini are labeled. (b) ATP-DnaA forms a right-handed helical filament with 8[1] symmetry. Side and axial views of four symmetry-related DnaA tetramers are shown. Top, the four monomers in the asymmetric unit are colored blue, green, orange and yellow. Bottom, identical view, but protomers are colored by domain as in a.
