Figure 7. Comparison of binding surface for enzyme I and enzyme IIA^Glc on E. coliHPr to the corresponding surface ofB. subtilis HPr and Crh. The PDB entries used forE. coliHPr, B. subtilis HPr and Crh are 1HDN,[31] 2HID [40] and 1K1C, respectively. (a) The residues of helices A and B, involved in analogous hydrophobic and/or electrostatic interactions in the (HPr-EIN)E. coli and (HPr-enzyme IIA^Glc)E. coli complexes and conserved inB. subtilis HPr are highlighted on the HPr surfaces. The residues, whose side-chains participate in hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, are colored in green and blue, respectively. The PTS active site residue His15 is indicated in red and the CCR regulation site residue Ser46 in B. subtilis is indicated in yellow. The corresponding residues of B. subtilis Crh are colored in the same way but Gln15 of Crh is colored in magenta. Leu50 of Crh, which is part of the central hydrophobic core, is colored in dark green. (b) Stick representation of the residues colored in (a). (c) Same picture as in (a) but containing also residues situated around the hydrophobic core involved in hydrophobic and/or electrostatic interactions in the (HPr-EIN)E. coli and (HPr-enzyme IIA^Glc)E. coli complexes, but which are only partly conserved in B. subtilis HPr and Crh.
