Figure 3.
Figure 3. (A) Structural alignment of PurS (blue) with the N-terminal domain of lgPurL (gray) from S. typhimurium C[ ]atoms from the dimer of TM1244 were used for the alignment with lgPurL. The largest structural difference corresponds to strand 3 of chain A, which is replaced by a long loop (see arrow) that acts as a linker between the adjacent PurS-like domains in lgPurL. (B) Stereo ribbon diagram of a superposition of lgPurL from S. typhimurium (FGAR-AT; gray) with PurS (TM1244; blue) and smPurL (TM1246; orange). Ligands of lgPurL are shown as CPK (Corey, Pauling, and Kultun) color scheme. The arrow indicates the expected location of the PurQ protein (TM1245) in FGAR-AT from T. maritima.
