Fig. 1. Modeling of inward-facing LtaA.

Fig. 1

a Topology representation of LtaA. Domain-1 (N-terminal) and domain-2 (C-terminal) are shown in light orange and light blue, respectively. b Individual repeat domains as observed in outward-facing LtaA (PDB ID 6S7V), and superposition of inverted repeats (r.m.s.d. = 2.5 Å and 3.0 Å for aligned Cɑ atoms of R1D1/R2D1 and R1D2/R2D2, respectively). R1D1 and R2D1 indicate the first and second repeats in the N-terminal domain, respectively, whereas R1D2 and R2D2 indicate the first and second repeat in the C-terminal domain, respectively. Colors are according to panel a. c, d Side-views of inward-facing LtaA models generated by “repeat-swap” and by AlphaFold (AF), respectively. The models show TM helices that line the lateral openings. Extracellular and cytoplasmic views are also shown.
