Figure 4 Properties of the Mt ClpP1 tetradecamer. (a) Superimposition of one heptamer from the Ec ClpP structure 1yg6 (molecular surface, gold) onto the heptamer of Mt ClpP1 structure 2cby (ribbons, blue) shows the greater compactness of the latter. (b) Superimposition of monomer A of the Ec ClpP structure 1yg6 onto monomer A of the Mt ClpP1 structure 2cby . The superimposed monomers are on the right of the represented heptamers. The colour scheme is as in (a). (c) Inwards rotation of the monomers of Mt ClpP1 shown by overlaying monomer A from (a) and (b). The axis of this rotation (in red) is approximately perpendicular to the pore axis (in green). (d) Side view of the front half surface of a complete model of Mt ClpP1, i.e. including the region Leu126-Asp135, to illustrate the equatorial pores. See text for details.
