Structure of the month - January 2005

Kuper_January05_fig1 - enlarged view

Figure 1. The structure of Cnx1G-MPT (a, substrate) and S583A-MPT-AMP (b, product) complexes. Ribbon representation of Cnx1G (a) and S583A (b). Green and orange colouring indicates helices and β-strands. Bound MPT and MPT-AMP are shown in ball-stick-mode covered by the 2Fo-Fc electron density contoured at 1.0 sigma. Difference density (Fo-Fc) is shown in red (3.5 sigma).

Figure 2. Cu-MPT dithiolate complex. a, Fluorescence scan of Cnx1G crystal at the Cu absorption edge. b, Anomalous Fourier maps (coloured) from diffraction data recorded at 1.05 Å (blue, 5.0 sigma) and 1.75 Å (yellow, 3.0 sigma) of S583A surrounding the Cu-site and 2Fo-Fc maps (grey) for non-dithiolate ligands. Dashed lines indicate bonds between Cu and coordinating atoms.

Table. Data collection and refinement statistics.
*I* All crystals belong to space group F4132 (a=b=c=171.1 Å).
*II* Numbers in parentheses correspond to the highest resolution shell.
*III* Rsym = ∑hkli |Ii - | / ∑hkli Ii where Ii is the ith measurement and is the weighted mean of all measurements of I.
*IV* / indicates the average of the intensity divided by its average standard deviation.
*V* Rcryst=∑hkl||Fo|-|Fc||/∑hkl|Fo| where Fo and Fc are the observed and calculated structure factor amplitudes. Rfree same as Rcryst for 5% of the data randomly omitted from refinement. The number of reflections includes the Rfree subset. Ramachandran statistics indicate the fraction of residues in the most favored, additionally allowed, generously allowed, and disallowed regions of the Ramachandran diagram as defined by PROCHECK [Laskowski, R. A., et al. J. Mol. Biol. 231, 1049-67 (1993)].
