Figure 5
Dimerization through the L5 loop. (a) Back-to-back dimerization interface of DmmarA. Chain A is displayed as a blue cartoon and chain B as a light blue cartoon. The L5 loop is coloured purple. In the close-up view, interacting residues are shown as sticks. Waters are visualized as red spheres and bonds as yellow dashed lines. (b) The unique DmmarA L5 loop. The loop is shown in purple and the residues of the loop are shown as purple sticks. The rest of the enzyme is visualized as a blue surface. The right panel shows a multiple sequence alignment of the L5 loop in different HLDs. (c) Types of L5 loop conformation. On the left, the shorter-type L5 loop of DbeA (green), DhaA (grey), DmxA (pink) and DmmA (yellow) is depicted. The second panel shows the longer-type L5 loop of HanR (gold), LinB (brown), DccA (blue-purple) and DpaA (salmon). The third panel shows the DmmarA-type L5 loop (purple). A superposition of all L5 loops is displayed in the right panel.
