Formation of rods with E13Z and E13Z/K44E. a Structural models of K44Z and E13Z. b Optimization of Ni2+ ratios to the protein. c The average and maximum lengths from each variant when the ratio of Ni2+ to protein is optimized in (b). d Altered reactivities of E13Z/K44E versus K44Z with 3 equiv. of Zn2+. e TEM images of pre-mixed K44Z and E13Z/K44E (5 μM each) with 6 equiv. of Ni2+ at 37 °C. f The average length of rods formed with various variants when 6 (red spheres) or 8 equiv. (black squares) of Ni2+ were applied. The raw data in Fig. 5b, c, f are provided as a Source Data file.
