Hinge region difference. The major conformational change between subunits adopting a linear versus helical macromolecular assembly is a rotation of 110° of the N-terminal extension, residues 1–13. Additional smaller differences occur in loops at residues 33–39, 62–66 and 103–109 (marked in blue). CfaB central subunit from PDB entry 3f85, magenta; this research, yellow. Scale bar = 10 Å. |
