Figure 1. Identification of BB0326 as a potential collar protein in B. burgdorferi.

Figure 1.

(A) An illustration of a periplasmic flagellar motor structure from wild type cells. Each structural component of the motor is labeled. The 2D cartoon is produced from our previously generated B. burgdorferi flagellar motors showing that the PG layer is in direct contact with the collar and stator. (B) Alignment of PG-binding loops of B. burgdorferi MotB (169–187 aa) sequence and BB0326 (525–543 aa) using Clustal Omega program: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/ (Top panel). Asterisks indicate identical amino acid residues between the two sequences. Schematic diagram of secondary structure prediction of MotB and BB0326 proteins showing the PG- and membrane-binding domains (Bottom). Diagram is not in scale.
