Crystal structure of AlgE. (a) Structure (ribbon model) of AlgE-1.9 viewed from the membrane plane. (b) As in (a), viewed from the extracellular space. (c) As in (a), viewed from the periplasm. (d) Chemical and space-filling structures of the mannuronate and guluronate components of alginate and of citrate. (e) Residues that form the electrostatic pore in which citrate sits in the lumen of AlgE-1.9. All residues are conserved (Whitney et al., 2011 ![]() |
