Figure 4. Structural Comparisons of the Catalytic Domain of AvPCP
(A) Structural superimposition of the catalytic domains of AvPCP (green) and papain (PDB ID code 9pap; orange) in stereo. The catalytic triad of each protein is shown as sticks.
(B) Comparison of AvPCP with representative papain-like proteins: papain, Spr, the CHAP domain of GspS (Gsps-N), 2p1g (PDB ID code 2p1g), and NsPCS (PDB ID code 2bu3). The structures are shown in the same orientation of their catalytic domains.
(C) Four representative active-site pockets. The cysteine in the catalytic triad is colored in red, the histidine in blue, and the third polar residue in cyan (seen only in 2p1g, buried in others). The S sites (labeled S) are tentatively assigned based on papain.
