Dimer of Pil Bac1 ΔN. A: Dimeric interface between two PilBac1∆N molecules in the crystal. B: Superposition of a PilBac1∆N monomer with PilE from N. gonorrhoeae (2HI2.PDB). C: Superposition based on the head domains of a PilBac1∆N monomer with the modelled α-helix onto PilE from N. gonorrhoeae (2HI2.PDB). D: PilBac1∆N dimer with the modelled α-helices at the N-terminus based on a superposition with the α-helix from PilE from N. gonorrhoeae (2HI2.PDB). E: Potential arrangement of a PilBac1 dimer in a membrane. This figure was generated with the PPM server [79]. The structure of PilBac1∆N is shown in blue, the modelled helix in cyan and PilE from N. gonorrhoeae is shown in red.
