Figure 3. C-terminal extensions of the β2 and β7 subunits serve to stabilize the assembling CP.

Figure 3

The β2 subunit (green) forms extensive contacts with the β3 subunit through its C-terminal extension. The C-terminal 30 amino acid residues are shown here in magenta. The β7 subunit (dark yellow) inserts its C-terminal extension between the β2 and β1 subunit of the opposing β ring. The final 15 amino acids residues of β7 are shown in red. The image was made using PyMol using the structure elucidated in Refs [15].
