(left) MreCPa-Region1 is able to form tube-like structures that resemble MreCPa(36-330) (4 grids, 42 images). (center) MreCPa-Region2 does not generate any large oligomeric forms that can be visualized by negative-staining EM (4 grids, 39 images), and SV-AUC (Supplementary Fig. 7) indicates a sedimentation profile that is indicative of a much smaller species. (right) MreCPa-Region3 forms thin fibers that are distinct from those observed for MreCPa(36-330) (9 grids, 80 images). Scale bars in EM images correspond to 50 nm.
