1 Crystal Structures of an Archaeal Class I CCA-Adding Enzyme and Its Nucleotide Complexes 
Yong Xiong, Fang Li, Jimin Wang, Alan M. Weiner, Thomas A. Steitz  Molecular Cell  Volume 12, Issue 5, Pages (November 2003) DOI: /S (03)

2 Figure 1 The Structure of the AfCCA Enzyme
(A) A ribbon representation of the monomer complexed with ATP. The head, neck, body, and tail domains are colored magenta, green, cyan, and yellow, respectively. The ATP bound to the active site is shown in yellow and the second nucleotide is in blue. The metal ions are shown as red spheres. (B) A view that is rotated by 90° about a horizontal axis compared to (A). (C) The AfCCA dimer with its 2-fold axis in the center and oriented perpendicular to the plane. (D) PAP that has been oriented the same way as in the AfCCA enzyme shown (A).(E) A ribbon representation of the Class II BstCCA enzyme monomer whose head domain has been oriented the same way as the head domain of the AfCCA enzyme in (B). (E) The BstCCA dimer with its 2-fold axis in the center and oriented perpendicular to the plane. Molecular Cell  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Figure 2 A Comparison of the Structures of the Polymerase Domains of AfCCA, BstCCA, and DNA pol β The polymerase domain is shown in magenta and the neck/fingers in green. The incoming nucleotide is yellow and the metal ions are brown. The three catalytic carboxylates are shown. In (B), the last magenta helix (cylinder) to the right belongs to pol β fingers domain. For comparison with the AfCCA head it is colored the same as the palm domain. In (C), the region colored in red represents the additional part of BstCCA not seen in the AfCCA head and Pol β domains.

4 Figure 3 Nucleotide Binding to AfCCA
(A) A ribbon representation of head (magenta) and neck (green) domains and selected protein side chains with UTP positioned as derived from the map in (B). Direct hydrogen-bonding interactions are shown as broken lines. The anomalous difference electron densities (3 σ) arising from the Mn2+ ions (cyan) are shown in green. (B) The final 2Fo-Fc electron densities (1σ) for ATP, CTP, and UTP are shown superimposed on the nucleotide structures with the Mn2+ ion represented as a cyan sphere.

5 Figure 4 Models of tRNA Bound to Monomers of the Two Classes of CCA-Adding Enzymes that Account for tRNA Protection Experiments (A) The AfCCA enzyme is shown in a surface representation and colored blue for negative electrostatic potential and red for positive electrostatic potential. tRNA is shown in stick representation with the backbone path highlighted by a pink coil. The magenta spheres indicate those phosphates that are protected from alkylation by tRNA binding to the enzyme and/or those that interfere with activity when alkylated. The orange balls indicate phosphates whose alkylation interferes with CCA-adding activity. (B) A model of the BstCCA complex with tRNA that has been color coded the same as in (A). Molecular Cell  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

6 Figure 5 A Comparison of the Different Orientations that the tRNA Acceptor Stem and TΨC Stem-Loop Have with Respect to the Head Domains in the Two Classes of CCA-Adding Enzyme (A) AfCCA. (B) BstCCA. The head domains of the two enzymes are represented in magenta ribbons and are in the same orientation. The enzymes are shown with surface representation and the acceptor stem and TψC stem-loop of the tRNA in yellow coil. Molecular Cell  , DOI: ( /S (03) )
