Figure 6. The hexameric T3SS and F1 ATPases. Right, the [3] [3] heterohexamer of the F1 ATPase, with known membrane orientation delineated by the binding of its membrane-anchored -subunit (purple) within the inner pore of the ATPase hexameric ring. In yellow is the helical domain at the C terminus of the F1 ATPases, which is absent in EscN. Left, the EscN homohexamer (blue), with the predicted docking site for the helical T3SS chaperone (PDB 1XKP^41; red), in complex with its cognate and partially unfolded effector (green). The functional point mutation V393P lies at the edge of the chaperone-binding surface (yellow).
