ArlG forms a helical filament. (A) Representative examples of purified P. furiosus sArlG demonstrating (i) helical filaments corresponding to previous results. Micrographs also featured (ii) thinner filamentous structures and (iii) helical filaments that transitioned to thinner filaments, mid-filament. (B) Representative 2-D classes on helical filaments; the bottom row shows 2-D classes of helical-to-thinner transitions, confirming their relation. (C) Isosurface of the final 3-D reconstruction of sArlG helical filament reveals an open helix of repeating densities around a central density.
