Figure 3.
Fig. 3. RIIβ holoenzyme assumes a closed confirmation: (a) shows three holoenzyme structures with the trapped transition state that is present in the RIIβ holoenzyme structure (middle). The RIIα holoenzyme (left) is in an open form whereas the RIIβ and RIα complexes (right) are in a closed conformation. The color designations are as follows: E230^C, E170^C, and E203^C are shown in red and provide the acidic docking surface for the P − 3 and P − 2 arginines; the P + 1 pocket (L198^C and P202^C) is in white and provides the hydrophobic site for the P + 1 residue; Y330^C in the C-tail is yellow; the glycine rich loop is in pink; AMP-PNP is in black. The temperature factors analysis of the C subunit in three holoenzyme structures is shown in (b). Shown on the left is RIIα(90–400):C in the absence of ATP (2QVS), with the disordered/mobile regions underlined in red; in the middle is RIIβ(108–268):C:AMP-PNP; on the right is RIα(91–244):C:AMP-PNP (1U7E).
