Figure 3.
Figure 3: Structure of the ligand-binding site in S. cerevisiae Snf4. Stereo-view overlay of the structures of the -subunits of S. cerevisiae SNF1 (Snf4, in green) and S. pombe AMPK (in grey)^9. The position of AMP is observed in the S. pombe structure^9, as well as from our studies. Residues that could interact with AMP are shown, and those that are equivalent to disease-causing mutations in mammalian -subunits are labelled in red. Produced with Ribbons^30.
