Molecular modeling of EfTu and SP interaction. A globular structure of B. cereus EfTu1 (UNIPROT A0A0G8DYE7), showing the typical 3 domains (I, II and III) was generated under RaptorX by alignment over Escherichia coli EfTu RCSB 1EFC (A). An unfolded structure, generated by PyMOL and submitted to CABS-flex server analysis, showed a potential rotation point between LYS296 and GLU395 (B). Both folded and unfolded models showed similar energy distribution (tension) and potential stability. The two hydrophobic barrel domains II and III of B. cereus EfTu were aligned with the trans-membrane region of OmpW and OprF using RaptorX Structure Alignment (C). Over the 165 to 193 amino acids involved in the transmembrane region of these porins, 83 were homologous in B. cereus EfTu.
