Figure 4. Interactions of ProRSs with the Prolyl-Adenylate Analog, ProAMS
(A–C) ProAMS (predominantly gray molecule) bound in the active sites of (A) R. palustris, (B) E. faecalis, and (C) T. thermophilus ProRS, showing key hydrogen bonds to the proline and sulfate moieties. Class II synthetase conserved motifs 1, 2, and 3 are shown in green, cyan, and red, respectively, and the TXE loop is shown in gold. On the proline-binding loop (violet), which is in the closed conformation, hydrophobic residues Ile202, Met202, and Phe205 play equivalent roles in PrsRp, PrsEf, and PrsTt, respectively.
