Fig. 1

a Cartoon representation of Cry78Aa13-359, which was packed as an X-shaped tetramer in the crystal. Four protomers are shown as Mol A (green), Mol B (orange), Mol C (magenta), and Mol D (blue). Mol A and Mol B are arranged in a straight line and are embedded in the plane of the page. Mol C and Mol D symmetrically protrude from the plane by ~15°. The view was rotated 180° to provide more information on Cry78Aa13-359. b Cartoon representation of Cry78Aa13-359, which was packed as a dimer in the crystal. Two protomers are shown as Mol A (yellow) and Mol B (cyan). The structure is presented from two symmetrical perspectives.
