  1. Ribbon representation of the Bacillus subtilis Glutamine PRPP amidotransferase structure (PDB code 1AO0). Colour­codes: chain A = yellow; chain B = light blue; chain C = green; chain D = red. Bound ADP and GMP are not shown.

    b-e: orientation as a, rotated -90° around y axis.

  2. The [Fe4S4] cluster and its ligand residues.
  3. As a, chain B, complex with ADP (left) and GMP (right). Colour­codes: glutamine domain (residues 1-226) = violet; transferase domain (residues 237-459) = blue; linker peptide (residues 226-237) = cyan.
  4. As c, glutamine domain. N­terminus (residues 1-2) = white; C­terminus (residues 226-231) = green.
  5. As c, transferase domain. N­terminus (residues 231-237) = white; allosteric (A) site (residues 303-331) = yellow; catalytic (C) site (residues 340-363) = cyan; C­terminus (residues 442-459) = green. ADP binds to the A site and GMP to the C site.
All drawings were produced by using the program MOLSCRIPT [2].
