Figure S6. Comparisons of various metal-bound forms of the A. aeolicus MutL (aqMutL) C-terminal endonuclease domain (CTD).
(A, B, C, D) The local structure around Arg406 of the zinc-bound form of the aqMutL CTD was superimposed onto that of the cadmium-bound (A), zinc-restored (B), manganese-bound (C) forms of the WT aqMutL CTD and the cadmium-bound form of the R406T aqMutL CTD (D). It should be noted that, of the two catalytic sites shown in Fig 3H, the one on the right side is shown here. In panel (A), the distances between the carbonyl oxygen of Gly422 and the Cδ atom of Arg406 are shown, which are 4.8 and 3.9 Å for the zinc-bound and cadmium-bound forms, respectively. (E) Electron density maps around Arg406. Blue mesh represents the 2Fo–Fc map shown at 3.0 σ.
