Fig. 6. Global rearrangements upon promoter binding.

Fig. 6

a PRE-INITIATION (dark grey, teal, dark blue, hot pink) and APO-RIBBON (light grey, light cyan, light blue) structures are superimposed. The pyramid and α-bundle rotations between apo- and promoter-bound structures are indicated as well as the 340-loop and the 860-region. Promoter RNA is shown in pink and orange. b Close-up of the interaction site between promoter RNA (pink and orange) and the pendant (hot pink), thumb-ring (yellow) and thumb (green) domains in the PRE-INITIATION structure. The pyramid domain is shown in teal. c Superposition of the PRE-INITIATION and APO-ENDO structures. PRE-INITIATION is presented as a transparent surface in grey with the pendant (hot pink) and α-bundle (blue) as well as the 5′ (pink) and 3′ (orange) vRNA highlighted in colour. The EN domain of the APO-ENDO structure is shown as an orange ribbon, which overlaps with the pendant domain volume of the PRE-INITIATION structure.
