Figure 2.
FIG. 2. A, ribbon diagrams of the TraM dimer. Mutants that have demonstrated a reduction in TraR binding efficiency, as well as a loss of activity in vivo, are drawn in stick representation (Leu-29, His-40, Arg-41, Leu-54, Tyr-72, Val-86, Gly-94, and Pro-97). Oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen are colored red, gray, and blue, respectively. Only one monomer is labeled, for clarity. Three orthogonal views are shown. B, molecular surface of the TraM dimer with mutants Leu-29 (orange), His-40 (white), Arg-41 (green), Leu-54 (red), Tyr-72 (blue), Val-86 (cyan), Gly-94 (magenta), and Pro-97 (yellow) mapped on. Only one monomer is labeled, for clarity. Three orthogonal views are shown.
