FIGURE 4.
Structure of the Mg2+ and SO4 2- bound dodecamer Pa DpsL (Pa DpsL-dd-Mg). (A) View of the 12-mer showing bound Mg2+ (blue spheres) and SO4 2-(red/yellow) ions. (B) Sulfate site 1 on the N-terminal tail. (C) Magnesium site 1 and sulfate site 2 located near the short helix (α3) on the loop connecting α2 and α4. (D) Sulfate site 3 bound to K65 in a type-A 3-fold pore. (E) Sulfate site 4 in a type-B 3-fold pore, where the sulfate ion is coordinated by the side chains of N146 and R152. (F) Magnesium sites 2 and 3 located approximately 13 Å from one another.
