Figure 1

(a) TEM image of γPFD filaments (scale bar, 100 nm). (b) The γPFD subunit is composed of two β-sheets, designated X1 and X2, which are flanked by helical regions that form a coiled-coil. (c) The β-sheet domains are responsible for the assembly of the subunits into long filaments. (d) Schematics for the design and assembly of filament rods and connectors into higher-order structures.
