Figure 1.
Structure of EXLX1 and comparison with other proteins containing a double-ψ β-barrel fold and interacting with polysaccharides. (A) Diagram representation of EXLX1: D1, cyan; D2, magenta. (B) Diagram representations of EXLX1 and EXPB1 (orange) superimposed. (C) Diagram representations of EXLX1 and EcMltA(D308A)–chitohexaose superimposed. The chitohexaose [(GlcNAc)[6]] is shown as sticks. Nt, N-terminal extension. (D) Diagram representations of GH45 endoglucanase MeCel45A and EXPB1 superimposed. (E) Diagram and surface representation of EXLX1 with chitohexaose (in sticks) from the superimposed EcMltA(D308A)–chitohexahose. The most conserved residues in proteins with a double-ψ β-barrel fold are highlighted in yellow. EXLX1 is oriented with shallow groove on the front instead of on top as in A–D.
