Figure 5. A Model of the Interaction between the EAA Loops of MalF and MalG Transmembrane Proteins and the Q Loop of MalK(A) Model of the docking of the L loop of BtuC to the Q loop of MalK. To obtain this model, the NBD of MalK from the ATP-bound structure was aligned with the NBD of BtuCD. Color codes: cyan, the BtuC L loop; blue, the Q loop of MalK; red and purple, the Walker A motif of one subunit and the LSGGQ motif of the other subunit, respectively. ATP is shown in ball-and-stick.(B) Predicted helix-loop-helix motif of the EAA loops of MalF and MalG. The L loop in the crystal structure of BtuCD, which displays a helix-loop-helix configuration (Locher et al., 2002), is the equivalent of the EAA loops.
