Figure 4. Comparison of crystal structures of full-length PaMpl and truncated NmMpl.

Figure 4

The crystal structure of truncated NmMpl (grey, ND and MD only, PDB id 3eag) is similar to PaMpl (blue) and can be superimposed with an r.m.s.d. of 2.2 Å over 311 Cα atoms with a sequence identity of 57%. The main differences are: NmMpl lacks the PaMpl-specific sequence segments 141–152 (green), 262–285 (orange) and 444–450 (cyan); NmMpl residues 152–163 are positioned differently compared to the corresponding residues 161–171 in PaMpl (yellow); and the segment corresponding to a loop (residues 199–208, red) in NmMpl is disordered in PaMpl (residues 210–215, flanking residues 209 and 216 are in red).
