Figure 1. NMR solution structure of the VirB9Ct–VirB7Nt complex (PDB 2N01). The secondary structure is color-coded blue for β-strand and yellow for helix. VirB7Nt is shown in green and the VirB7Nt β0 is shown in red. VirB7Nt side chain residues F30 and W34 are shown in sticks and red-colored, while VirB9Ct F237 side chain is shown in cyan. This complex is stabilized by a series of interactions between VirB7Nt aromatic residues, F30 and W34, and VirB9Ct solvent exposed side chains on the surface of the β1−β8−β7−β4 β-sheet, and by the accommodation of VirB7Nt V37 in a hydrophobic cleft formed between VirB9Ct strands β1 and β2.

Uncovering the Association Mechanism between Two Intrinsically Flexible Proteins

The understanding of protein–protein interaction mechanisms is key to the atomistic description of cell signaling pathways and for the development of new drugs. In this context, the mechanism of intrinsically…

A novel BLUF photoreceptor modulates the Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri–host plant interaction

Abstract Plant–pathogen interaction is influenced by multiple environmental factors, including temperature and light. Recent works have shown that light modulates not only the defense response of plants but also the…
