Fig. 4. OAD array formation via the TTH interaction.

Fig. 4

a, The IC-HC forms a compact claw-like conformation in the tail region and grasps the head region (mainly β-ring) of an adjacent OAD unit. The top view of the OAD array clearly shows the TTH interaction. Details are enlarged in the lower right panel. A schematic representation of the tail region of OAD0 is shown at the lower left. b, A close-up view of the TTH region. The schematic shows how the tail0 region calipers the β+1 ring and restrains its free allosteric response. c, A model for the OAD array formation mechanism. The γ-HC and LCs are not included in the model as they do not contribute to the critical interactions between adjacent OADs.
