Figure 3. Overall Structure of PCS Complexed with CoA-SH
(A) Ribbon representation of the PCS homodimer. The monomers are colored green and silver, and the CoA-SH molecules are shown as blue stick models. The catalytic Cys174 and Met147, which form a partial wall of the active-site cavity of another monomer, are highlighted as yellow CPK and stick models, respectively.
(B) Comparison of PCS (green), M. sativa CHS (blue), and G. hybrida 2PS (purple). The catalytic Cys174 and the bound CoA-SH in PCS are also shown as yellow and red CPK molecules, respectively.
(C) CoA-SH binding to the PCS structure. The CoA-SH (green) and the SIGMA-weighted |2F[o] − F[c]| electron density (0.8σ, red cage) for CoA-SH are shown. The water molecules (light-blue spheres) and hydrogen bonds (dotted lines) are also indicated.
