Fig. 2

Superposition of the α-, β-, and γ-subunits of MCR. The panels on the right are close-ups of structural deviations. In each panel, the corresponding chain is coloured, while the remaining chains are shown (greyed out) for ANME-2dV. MCR structures are coloured according to the microorganism, with M. marburgensis (PDB code: 5A0Y) in light blue, M. shengliensis (7NKG) in deep blue, ANME-1 from Black Sea mats (3SQG) in cyan, ‘Ca. E. thermophilum’ ECR (7B1S) in marine, ANME-2c in dark green, ANME-2dO in green and ANME-2dV in light green. N- and C-termini are shown as spheres.
