Figure Lengend Snippet: Alignment of A. wt Pab1 from C. cinerea monokaryon OK130 ( Cc Pab1) with PabA ( Ec PabA, underlaid in yellow) and PabB of E. coli ( Ec PabB, underlaid in dusky pink) and B. wt Ade8 from C. cinerea strain AmutBmut ( Cc Ade8) with PurD ( Ec PurD, underlaid in yellow) and PurM of E. coli ( Ec PurM, underlaid in dusky pink), respectively. a The catalytic triad, glutamine binding residues and residues involved in ammonia tunnel formation in PabA are marked with red, green and blue symbols *, respectively. Other residues affecting enzymatic activities and bonding to PabB are marked with grey squares. The position of a stabilizing residue stretch called oxyanion hole is underlaid in light blue, a sequence stretch for chorismate signal transfer in olive [ , , ]. Red letters in PabB mark helical regions, blue letters β-sheets. The conserved PIKGT motif, sequences for interaction with PabA, for signal transfer of chorismate binding, and of a binding pocket for tryptophan implicated in structural stabilization are underlaid in olive, bright yellow, grey and light blue, respectively. The residue K in the PIKGT motif which is mutated in C. cinerea AmutBmut (K546E) is marked in red. Symbols * in red and black mark (predicted) active site residues and Mg 2+ -binding residues in two chorismate-interacting helices, respectively. Triangles in black indicate residues that contact the bound tryptophan and grey squares further residues where mutations affect functionality [ – , ]. b Red, blue, green and magenta letters mark the N, B, A, and C domains of PurD. The positions of the P-loop and the flexible A and B loops in PurD are underlaid in light blue, olive and orange, respectively. Symbols * in black, red, and blue mark residues that recognize the adenine base, ribose and phosphate of the nucleotide, whereas grey squares indicate residues interacting with the ligand PRA [ , ]. The residue N in the A loop which is mutated in C. cinerea OK130 (N231D) is marked in red. In PurM, symbols * mark (predicted) nucleotide binding residues and triangles (in grey predicted) binding sites of the substrate N -formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide (FGAM)
