Comparison of RDs. (A) The RD1 (gold) and RD2 (magenta) of HsdR_Vv are superposed with HCV NS3 helicase (HCV, grey). The residues of the DECH sequence (DE××) for ATP hydrolysis are displayed with stick models. (B) Close-up view of ATP-binding site. The catalytic residues for ATP hydrolysis are displayed with stick models and Mg ion with a green dot and occupy positions structurally equivalent to HCV helicase. In other functionally related enzymes, the aromatic ring of a protein side chain (Phe) stacks with the base of adenine nucleotide.
