Fig. 6

a Sequence alignment using Clustal Omega Completely conserved and partially conserved residues are shown in red and blue, respectively. The position of the α3/β3 connecting loop is indicated by a black square. Conserved residues that are involved in the formation of the putative active site and the A/B’ dimer are indicated by asterisks (*) and hashes (#), respectively. Kp: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Ec: Escherichia coli, St: Salmonella typhimurium, Yp: Yersinia pestis, Hs: Homo sapiens, Mm: Mus musculus, Dr: Danio rerio. b Cartoon representation of kpChbG colored according to the degree of amino acid sequence conservation generated by the ConSurf server29. c Surface representation of kpChbG. d Three close-up views of panel (b) showing the amino acids of the putative active site, the first dimer PPI, and the second dimer PPI.
