Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Structural comparison of substrate binding sites of AANAT , tGCN5, and GNA1. The molecular surfaces around the active site of the AANAT-bisubstrate analog (A), the tGCN5-CoA-H3peptide (B), and the GNA1-CoA-GlcNAc6P complex structures (C) are viewed with a similar orientation. From top to bottom, the serotonin-like moiety and the acetyl group are shown in red, the H3 peptide backbone in yellow, with its reactive Lys-14 side chain in orange, and GlcNAc6P in purple. Structural divergences within the NH[2]- and COOH-terminal regions are highlighted in dark blue and blue, respectively. The 3- 4 insertion loop unique to AANAT is shown in brown.
