Figure 2.
Figure 2. (A) Structural superposition of bsmtnX (green), mjPSP (PDB: 1l7p; yellow), and paThrH (PDB: 1rku; grey). The active site aspartate, the bound phosphoserine in mjPSP, and the metal ions are shown in ball-and-stick representation. The zinc-binding sub-domain unique to bsmtnX is colored red and an arrow indicates its position. The loop connecting helices H2 and H3, which modulates transition between open/closed states, is also colored red. (B) Structural superposition of the active site residues of the three enzymes. Carbon atoms are colored as in (A), oxygens are red, nitrogens are blue, and phosphate is orange.
