Structure of the FrdA-SdhE assembly intermediate. a Two orthogonal views of the E. coli FrdA-SdhE assembly intermediate; FrdA (cyan), SdhE assembly factor (green) FAD (orange sticks), and malonate (yellow sticks). The boxed region is highlighted in the inset. The bottom view is looking from the membrane through the top of the complex. b Structure of the assembled E. coli FrdABCD complex (PDB entry 3P4P21) shown from the same view; FrdA (gray), FrdB (magenta), FrdC (yellow), and FrdD (blue). The side-by-side comparison of the FrdA-SdhE assembly intermediate and mature FrdABCD shows that the SdhE subunit binds to the same surface in the unassembled complex as the FrdB subunit does in the assembled complex. c Surface representation of the FrdA subunit with the view identical to the bottom panel of a. The binding sites for SdhE (green) and FrdB (magenta) are shown as surfaces and use the same bifunctional binding site. d Overlay of the flavin-binding domains of the FrdA subunit from the FrdA-SdhE assembly intermediate (cyan) and the FrdABCD complex (gray). A rotation of 10.8° is observed in the capping domain of the malonate-bound assembly intermediate when compared to assembled FrdABCD
