Crystal structures of (a) BGLPf-WT and (b) BGLPf-M3. (a) One tetramer with the wild-type sequence occupies the asymmetric unit and is shown as a space-filling model in cyan (subunit A), pink (subunit B), orange (subunit C) and lime (subunit D). The other molecules related by crystallographic symmetry are shown as ribbon models. The unit cell of BGLPf-WT is shown as a black rectangle and the lattice vectors a and c are shown as red arrows. The 43 screw axis parallel to the lattice vector c is shown as a pair of black lines. (b) Two dimers (PQ and RS) of BGLPf-M3 occupy the asymmetric unit and are shown as space-filling models in red (subunit P), green (subunit Q), blue (subunit R) and yellow (subunit S). The other molecules related by crystallographic symmetry are shown as ribbon models. The unit cell of M3 is shown as a black parallelogram and the lattice vectors a and c are shown as red arrows. The arrangement of BGLPf-M3 is similar to that of BGLPf-WT; however, no 43 screw axis is observed in the crystal because the RS dimer is not identical to the PQ dimer.
