Figure 6.
Anions located along the TSP2 threefold axis support trimer oligomerization. (a) A chloride located between the neck and the D3′ domain forms charge-charge interactions with three guanidinium groups of Arg284. (b) A chloride located along the intermolecular D3 β-helices axis interacts with three side chain amide groups of Asn565. (c) A sulfate located along the intermolecular D3 β-helices axis form charge-charge interaction with the carboxyl groups of Asp415 and the amino groups of Lys465.
