Figure 1.
Solution structure of CzrO DNA-bound CzrA. (A) Backbone heavy atom (N, Cα, and C') overlay of 20 lowest-energy structures of DNA bound CzrA (see Table S2 for structure statistics; unstructured residues 100–103 of the bundle are not shown in this view for clarity). The ribbon diagram in the overlay represents the mean structure of the ensemble and the two subunits are shaded salmon and red. (B) Ribbon diagram representation of the global overlay of DNA bound CzrA and the crystal structure of Zn(II) CzrA (8). The subunits of DNA bound CzrA are colored as in A and the two subunits of Zn(II) CzrA are colored slate and blue. Zn(II) ions are colored yellow. (C) Another view of the same overlay as in B (rotated 45°) and the green arrows represent the direction of the quaternary structural change.
