Figure 3.
Fig. 3. The conformational changes that occur in the two switch regions and the neck-linker region during ATP hydrolysis. (A to D) AMP-PCP (A), AMP-PNP (B), ADP-AlFx (C), and ADP-Vi (D) forms are shown in light brown, red, blue, and green, respectively. These panels are seen from the upper right in Fig. 2A (indicated by the black arrow). Nucleotides and the coordinating residues around them are shown as ball-and-stick models. Missing C-terminal residues and loops are shown by dashed lines. The structural details around the nucleotide-binding pocket are also shown in figs. S2 to S4 (46). (E and F) The conserved salt bridge between Glu170 and Arg316 (enclosed by a red circle), shown in ball-and-stick models in the AMP-PNP (E) and ADP-Vi (F) forms. Loop L8 and the switch II cluster are shown in dark blue and dark red, respectively. Nucleotides are shown as space-filling models.
