Fig. 2. The flippase domain and its interactions with the synthase domain in the RtMprF(GDN)-nanodisc structure solved at 2.96-Å resolution.

Fig. 2

A cartoon structural model of RtMprF flippase domain viewed along the membrane plane (a) and from periplasmic side (b). The endogenous LysPG molecule associated with the flippase domain is highlighted as a sphere model in yellow. TM, transmembrane helix. c Topology of the flippase domain of RtMprF protein. The purple dashed boxes indicate the two motifs (Motifs 1 and 2) in Subdomain 1 with inverted topology. H1–H4, amphipathic helices 1–4. B1 and B2, β-strands 1 and 2. d Two major contact interfaces between the flippase domain and synthase domain of RtMprF. Color codes: cyan, synthase domain; magenta, flippase domain; yellow, LysPG. The dash boxes indicate the local regions of Interfaces 1 and 2 between the two domains. Zoom-in views of Interfaces 1 (e) and 2 (f) showing the specific interactions between adjacent amino acid residues from two neighboring domains. The numbers labeled nearby the dash lines are the distances (Å) between two adjacent groups.
