Figure 2. Ribbon Diagrams(A) The colicin E3-IP complex is Y shaped with dimensions of 75 × 135 × 45 Å.(B) Close-up of the jellyroll structure of the translocation domain in the same orientation as in (A). The three β sheets are shown in red, blue, and yellow. The β strands are numbered consecutively from the N terminus. The β barrel is flanked by two α-helical stretches. The second and longer α helix ends with P315, which causes a kink in the helix and leads directly into the helical receptor binding domain.(C) Close-up of the catalytic domain and the IP. The C domain is shown in gray and the IP in red. Catalytic residues are shown in ball-and-stick. This orientation shows that the two β sheets are roughly perpendicular to each other.
