FIGURE 8. Stereoviews of the superimposition of the catalytic sites of the ternary structures of Cr-P4H-1, HIF-P4H-2, and CAS. A, stereo view showing the active site of the ternary structure of Cr-P4H-1 superimposed on that of HIF-P4H-2 complexed with inhibitor and Fe^2+ (PDB code 2G19). B, superimposition of the ternary Cr-P4H-1 active site with the CAS active site complexed with Fe^2+ and 2-oxoglutarate in the presence or absence of NO. The Cr-P4H-1 is shown with gray carbons and bonds in both panels. In panel A HIF-P4H-2 and the bound inhibitor are in cyan. In panel B CAS is shown in yellow, whereas the two modes of binding of 2-oxoglutarate are in yellow (in the complex without NO; PDB code 1DRY) and magenta (in the complex with NO, PDB code 1GVG). The water molecules in the active sites of HIF-P4H-2 (two waters) and CAS (one water in the structure with NO) are shown in magenta.
