Structural organization of BT_3984 and homologs. (a) Surface representation of BT_3984 showing the two interlocking regions (N-terminal subdomain, residues 31–265, in blue; C-terminal subdomain, residues 266–537, in magenta) with the binding site for N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc, in orange ball-and-stick representation) lying across the domain interface. LacNAc was modeled from structural superposition of BT_3984 (PDB code 3cgh
; residues 31–537) with another SusD homolog, BT_1043 (PDB code 3ehn
; residues 33–546). (b) Ribbon diagram of BT_3984 in the same orientation as in (a) colored by sequence conservation according to ConSurf (Landau et al., 2005). High conservation among BT_3984 homologs is indicated in maroon and low conservation is indicated in turquoise. The potential SusC-binding interface is indicated. |
