Fig. 3: Comparison of Y. enterocolitica urease chain architecture with ureases with different modes of assembly from other pathogens.
From: High-resolution cryo-EM structure of urease from the pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica
Hetero-trimers are shown in tube representation with each chain in the same colors of the sequences in Fig. 1b. The black star indicates the central helix of the β subunit. The Y. enterocolitica and H. pylori ureases form the same dodecameric assembly despite having different types of chain splitting, while K. aerogenes urease has the same type of chain splitting as in Y. enterocolitica but forms only a trimeric assembly.
