Fig. 3. FliI hexamer model. (A) Stereoview of the ribbon diagram. (B–D) Superposition of FliI (blue and yellow) onto the (blue green) and (orange) subunits of F[1]-ATPase [1BMF (ref. 21)]. (B) N-terminal domain. (C) ATPase domain. (D) C-terminal domain. The N and C termini of the model are labeled for one subunit in B and D, respectively. (E–H) Electrostatic surface potential of the FliI hexamer. (E) Side view of two opposite subunits. (F) End-on view from the C-terminal side. (G) End-on view of a cross-section from the C-terminal side. (H) End-on view from the N-terminal side. Black and gray arrows indicate the hydrophobic and acidic sleeves, respectively. The surface potential is color coded as blue (positive) or red (negative).
