Figure 6. Overlay of the XIP-I/P. funiculosum GH11 xylanase complex with wild-type and mutant NpXyn11A. (a) The structure of the XIP-I (green)/P. funiculosum GH11 xylanase (red) complex was overlaid with wild-type NpXyn11A (cyan). The loops connecting β strand 3 with 4 and β strand 11 with 12 appear to clash with the xylanase inhibitor. (b) Wild-type NpXyn11 (cyan) and the Δ3-4NpXyn11A mutant (magenta) were overlaid with the structure of XIP-I when in complex with the P. funiculosum GH11 xylanase. The mutation has reduced the size of the loop connecting β strands 3 and 4, which now no longer make steric clashes with XIP-I.
