Structural properties of the export gate protein FlhAC. a Cartoon rendering of the crystal structure of FlhAC determined at 1.9 Å resolution. The protein is colored using a continuous-gradient color scheme from the N terminus (blue) to the C terminus (red). b Solvent-exposed surface rendering of FlhAC displayed in the YRB color scheme59 (yellow, carbons not attached to nitrogen or oxygen; red, negatively charged; blue, positively charged). c The FlhAC site determined by NMR to interact with its binding partners is highlighted in pink. d Sequence conservation of FlhAC colored according to residue identity conservation scores obtained by ConSurf60. The binding site is the most conserved surface in FlhAC
