Figure 3
The entrance to the central cavity of the AtzA hexamer and the amino-acid residues of the hexamer-stabilizing interface. The entrance to the AtzA hexamer central cavity is largely formed by Arg163 contributed by each monomer. The hole formed in the hexamer is approximately 14 Å across at the entrance. Amino-acid substitutions at residues Ala170, Met256, Pro258 and Tyr261 destabilize the hexamer. The interactions between three monomers on one face of the hexamer (left) and at a single monomer–monomer interface (right) are shown.
