Figure 3. Structural Comparison of Ta Pelota and the Sm Protein from P. aerophilum
(A) Superposition of domain 1 of Ta Pelota (magenta tube) and the P. aerophilum Sm protein (orange tube) (PDB code 1I8F; Mura et al. [2001]). The conserved Asn46 and Arg69 of the P. aerophilum Sm protein, termed RNA-binding knuckles (Khusial et al., 2005), are shown.
(B) Heptamer structure of the P. aerophilum Sm protein.
(C) Schematic diagram comparing domain structures of Ta Pelota and eRF1.
(D) Stereo 2F[o] − F[c] electron density map around the Pro197-Gly198-Phe199 sequence of Ta Pelota.
