FIG 10

Model of the FtsK motor loaded at a KOPS site. The N termini of the γ domains are located on one side of the complex, where they would connect to the motor domains of FtsK. This leads to loading of the motor to one side of the KOPS site so that the motor is pointing in a defined direction. This gives the motor its subsequent directional translocation (the arrow denotes the direction the motor would move along the DNA).
