Table 1. Root mean square deviations (based on Cα atoms) for overlays of the published RXLR effector structures (only the A-chains of ATR1 and PexRD2 were considered).
Effector | ATR1-WY1 | ATR1-WY2 | AVR3a4 | PexRD2 |
AVR3a11 | 1.72 Å | 1.86 Å | 0.85 Å | 0.73 Å |
ATR1-WY1 | 2.12 Å | 1.75 Å | 1.30 Å | |
ATR1-WY2 | 1.83 Å | 0.94 Å | ||
AVR3a4 | 0.93 Å |
Residues used in the overlays are those within the conserved helices of each structure as revealed by pair-wise comparisons.
