Figure 4.
Figure 4. (a) A representation of one Fe-protein monomer colored according to rms deviation in C a position, follow- ing superposition of the four AV2 and CP2 subunits. Residues with high rms deviation, such as the C terminus, are indicated in red; regions of strong structural conservation, such as the b-sheet, are indicated in dark blue. (b) A rep- resentation of one Fe-protein monomer colored according to amino acid residue conservation, following alignment of 59 Fe-protein sequences. Residues in red, such as the C terminus, indicate the regions of greatest sequence variability; those in dark blue, such as the 4Fe:4S cluster ligands, P-loop, Switch I and Switch II residues, indicate regions of strongest sequence conservation. In both (a) and (b), the view is from the dimer interface, and Av2 residue numbers are included for reference.
