Extended Data Fig. 3

a, Structure of purified MotA complex from A. aeolicus resolved by single particle EM (EMD 3417)27. b, The in situ stator complex in the ∆cheX motor has a bell-shaped structure embedded in the inner membrane (IM) and a periplasmic domain. The top part of the periplasmic domain matches well with the crystal structure of the S. enterica MotB periplasmic domain (PDB 2ZVY)28 (middle panel). The bell-shaped structure has similar size and shape as the structure of EMD 3417 (right panel). c, The in situ stator complex in the ∆cheY3-Class-2 motor is similar to that in the ∆cheX motor.
