Figure 2. Structural analysis of 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate kinase. (A) Stereo diagram of a structural alignment of TM0067 (blue) and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate kinase from T. thermophilus (PDB: 1v1a, grey), with bound ADP and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG) shown as spheres. (B) Stereo view of the active site, with ADP, KDG, and the interacting residues shown in sticks. Carbon atoms are colored light blue (TM0067), grey (T. thermophilus enzyme), or yellow (ADP and KDG). Nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus atoms are colored blue, red, and orange, respectively. TM0067 residues are labeled; corresponding residues in T. thermophilus are in parentheses. (C) Ribbon diagram of the TM0067 hexamer. TM0067 forms a trimer of dimers, where the flap region is shared between the monomers of each dimer. In each dimer, one of the monomers is colored, while the other is in grey.
