Fig. 1: Structure of the biofilm regulator RemA.
From: Structural and functional characterization of the bacterial biofilm activator RemA
a Amino acid sequence alignment of RemA from the Gram-positive model organism B. subtilis (Bs) and the moderate thermophilic bacterium G. thermodenitrificans (Gt). The secondary structural elements observed in the model are drawn schematically above the alignment and colored in rainbow colors from the N- to the C-terminus. b Chromatogram of the analytical SEC-MALS experiment of (Gt)RemA at the protein concentration of 500 µM. The absorption at a wavelength of 278 nm and the molecular weight (MW) calculated from MALS are in black and red, respectively. Source data are provided as a source data file. c Cartoon representation of a RemA monomer in rainbow colors from the N- to C-terminus (indicated by: ‘N’ and ‘C’, respectively; PDB-ID: “7BM2”). d Side, back, and front views of a (RemA)8. The color code is as in Fig. 1a, c. e-f Contact interface between two RemA subunits within (RemA)8. Further description is given in the main text.
