FIG. 2. A, ribbon diagram of a PriB dimer compared with those of EcoSSB and HsmtSSB tetramers. The monomers are colored differently. Side chains of Val-6 in the PriB dimer, Ile-9 in the EcoSSB tetramer, and His-18 in the HsmtSSB tetramer are shown as stick models. B, electrostatic potential comparison of the dimer-dimer interfaces of EcoSSB and HsmtSSB, as well as the putative region of the PriB dimer. For simplicity, the L[23] of each dimer is omitted in this diagram. Positive and negative potentials are shown in blue and red, respectively, whereas charge residues of one monomer are labeled in yellow. The black dotted line indicates the monomer-monomer interface of each dimer. Single letter amino acid abbreviations are used with position numbers. MSMS (58) was used to calculate the molecular surface contours, and the surface electrostatic potential was calculated using MEAD (59).
