Fig. 4. Crystal structure of ZmCKO1 inactivated by allenic cytokinins. (a) Overall surface of the enzyme. β-Strands are indicated in cyan and α-helices in light blue. FAD cofactor (yellow), bound HA-1 inhibitor (green) and N-acetyl-glucosamines (orange) are shown in space-filling CPK representation with nitrogen atoms in blue and oxygen atoms in red. The five glycosylated Asn sites are numbered. (b and c) Binding of HA-1 (carbon atoms in green) and HA-8 (carbon atoms in black) in their 2F[o] − F[c] maps; contoured at 2σ. The new covalent bond between the C3 atom of the inhibitor side chain and the C4a atom of FAD is shown in brown. (d) Hydrogen-bonding interactions of the inhibitor HA-1 at the active site of ZmCKO1. (e) Detail of the covalent bond between HA-1 inhibitor and FAD cofactor.
