Figure 5.
FIG. 5. Superimposition of the glucose moieties of DIMBOA-Glc in ZmGlu1 and dhurrin in SbDhr1. The glucose ring of DIM-BOA-Glc has rotated by 60° with respect to that of dhurrin. Consequently, the residues binding the sugar groups O-2, O-3, and O-4 in dhurrin bind O-3, O-4, and O-6 in DIMBOA-Glc. See also Table III. In each box, the top residue occurs in ZmGlu1, and the bottom residue occurs in SbDhr1. Of the 2 glutamates shown by stick representation, Glu464 occurs in ZmGlu1, whereas Glu460 occurs in SbDhr1.
