Figure 6. Coiled-coil interfaces are suitable to withstand mechanical stress from orthogonal directions.

Figure 6.

(A) A model of how 3-helix bundles would be able to bear mechanical stress differently compared to the microtubules. The bending curvatures and gaps are exaggerated for illustration purposes. (B) A schematic of wild-type and mutant sperm doublets structures highlighting the Tektin 5 bundles and the partial redundancy.
