From: Interaction of lipopolysaccharides at intermolecular sites of the periplasmic Lpt transport assembly
Cavities at protein-protein interfaces are key for interaction of Lpt multimers with LPS. (a) Representation of cavities (shown as volume shapes on the ribbon protein structure) at LptC-LptC and LptC-LptAm interface on the model established in this study (left) and at LptA-LptA interface (right, PDB:2R1A chains b and c). (b) Cross-sections of LptC-LptAm and LptA-LptA dimer. Cavities are colored in purple while the molecule cutting plane is shown as a grey surface. (c) LptC-LptAm interface showing cavities identically as in (a) but with residues shown to form crosslinks with LPS11.
