Fig. 2: Structural information on NadA in situ (native NadA exposed on the OMV surface).

A Representative raw of Negative Staining TEM image of meningococcal bare OMVs (OMVs without NadA – left panel) and OMVs carrying on the surface several NadA copies (indicated with white arrows – right panel). Scale bar is 60 nm. B Difference in HDX between rNadA and OMV-embedded NadA. Positive values indicate that rNadA undergoes faster HDX than OMV-embedded NadA, hence a rigidification of OMV-embedded NadA compared to rNadA. The dashed black line indicates 0.61 Da (99% CI) as a threshold for statistical significance. On the x-axes, peptides are listed according to the peptide center residue (peptides 24–39, 40–58, 40–59, and 327–340 are not plotted as they manifest bimodal HDX behavior; their isotopic envelopes are represented in Fig. 3b).
