Figure 6.
Figure 6. A model of the YopN–SycN–YscB–TyeA complex constructed by merging the two overlapping crystal structures. The RMSD of only 1 Å between the YopN molecules in the two structures allowed the construction of the model, which in all likelihood depicts the assembly as it exists in the Y. pestis cytoplasm. Noteworthy are the seeming rigidity of the structure and the spatial separation of secretion targeting and secretion regulating elements.
