Figure 2

The interactions between the α4-helix of MazE-mt9 and the MazF-mt9 dimer. (A) The cocrystal structure (PDB 7DU4) showing the interactions of MazE-mt9 (α4) and the toxin. The hydrogen bonds and the salt bridges concerning the sulfate ion and Asp74 are indicated by the red dashed lines. The sequence alignment between MazE-mt9 (α4) and the C-terminus of MazE-mt1 was shown in the inset. (B) The quantitation of the MazE-mt9/α4 (15 residues) interactions as characterized by ITC. (C) The inhibitory effects of the α4 peptide against the tRNase activity of MazF-mt9.
