The proposed mechanism of the enzymatic turnover of KdsC. The letters a–g correspond to the structures in Fig. 3, which serve as models of the respective states. The Mg2+ and Cl− ions are shown as the red and orange circles, respectively. Based on structures a and b in Fig. 3 that are obtained from the same crystal, we propose an equilibrium between the open and the closed (the tail-/Cl−-bound) states of the active site, depicted in the shaded rectangle.
