Figure 2.
Overall structure of LpxR. (A) Ribbon representation of LpxR. The ribbon is colored with a gradient from the N terminus in blue to the C terminus in red. Aromatic residues located at the membrane boundaries are shown as cyan sticks. Membrane boundaries are indicated by black lines. The extracellular side is located at the top of the figure, and the periplasmic side is at the bottom. Active-site residues are shown as yellow sticks. Zn^2+ atoms are shown as gray spheres, and glycerol molecules are shown as sticks in green. Loops, turns, the N terminus, and the C terminus are labeled. (B) LpxR viewed from the periplasmic side of the protein. The representation of the structure is similar to that in A. Figs. 2, 3, 4, S2, and S5 were prepared with PyMOL (23).
