Figure 2 Structure of the Mt ClpP1 monomer. (a) Ribbon-diagram representation, with labelling of the secondary-structure elements according to the structure of Ec ClpP1 (Wang et al., 1997[Wang, J., Hartling, J. A. & Flanagan, J. M. (1997). Cell, 91, 447-456.]). The chain is coloured from blue to red from the N-terminus to the C-terminus. The catalytic triad (Ser98, His123 and Asp172) is shown in stick representation. (b) A comparison of the C^ backbone of ClpP monomers corresponding to Mt (blue), Sp (green), Ec (gold), Pf (violet) and Hs (red). Amino acids from the head domains (residues 28-124 and 160-190 in Mt ClpP1) were selected for superimposition. (c) A 90°-rotated view from (b) showing a significant shift of the E helix in the handle domain of the Mt ClpP1 monomer.
