A schematic simplified model for MamA homooligomerization and assembly with other magnetosome-associated proteins leading to the formation of a multiprotein complex. The putative TPR motif of the MamA monomer binds at the concave surface of another monomer in a repetitive manner to create a highly stable homooligomer. The MamA convex sites bind other magnetosome-associated proteins to support proper activation of magnetite biomineralization throughout the chain.
