Figure 2. Domain delineation of PurS. (A) Structural representative of the ferredoxin-like fold: the anticodon-binding domain of PheRS (PDB code: 1pys, chain B). (B) Dimeric unit of PurS colored according to chains (chain A: blue, chain B: red). The PurS domain-swapped dimer structure contains two domains (separated by a black horizontal bar), each of which resembles the ferredoxin-like fold. The ferredoxin-like fold is made of four -strands and two -helices, and in PurS these structural elements are contributed from the two chains of the dimer by a domain swap of -helix H1 and -strand 2. The elements are labeled according to the ferredoxin-like fold.
