Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Disulfide bridge and sulfate binding sites of oxidized Spx. (A) The disulfide bridge is shown as yellow sticks. The sulfate, which is found in both Spx and ArsC, and may be involved in transcription regulation by Spx, is bound by the guanidinium moiety of residue R92 and the main chain carbonyl oxygen of S12. A second sulfate ion, which is found only in the Spx- CTD structure, is shown to the left of R92. Interactions between the sulfates and protein are depicted by dashed line. (B) A representative 2F[o] - F[c] simulated annealing composite omit map contoured at 1 shows the electron density for the disulfide bridge of Spx.
