Figure 2. Domain arrangement and structural alignment of smPurL and lgPurL. A: Domain arrangement of PurM, ThiL, smPurL, and lgPurL proteins. PurM and ThiL are homodimers. smPurL (gray) and the central domain of lgPurL (blue) have the same domain arrangement as a PurM dimer. lgPurL has two additional domains as compared with smPurL. The N-terminal domain homologous to the PurS protein is colored green and the C-terminal glutaminase domain is colored red. B: Stereo ribbon diagram of a superposition of smPurL (gray) and residues 183-960 of lgPurL from S. typhimurium (blue). The lgPurL N-terminal domain of unknown function and the C-terminal glutaminase domain are colored green and red, respectively. These extra domains of lgPurL correspond to the PurS (TM1244) and PurQ (TM1245) proteins in T. maritima. The structures were aligned using the DALI server.
