Effects of D128N Mutation on OsSERK2 in Xa21-Mediated Immune Complex: An In Silico Study

Figure 1

Changes in the interaction of the mutated residue with the neighboring residues. (a) The superimposed cartoon structure of OsSERK2 and OsSERK2 D128N focused on the mutated area. (b) Cartoon structure of OsSERK2, where Asp128 formed an s hydrogen bond with Ser126 and a salt bridge interaction with Arg152 of itself. (c) Cartoon structure of OsSERK2 D128N, where mutated residue Asn128 has no interaction with Ser126 and Arg152. Rather, Arg152 formed a salt bridge interaction with Glu174 (Table S1). Cartoon: OsSERK2 LRR (green), OsSERK2 D128N LRR (orange); stick: Asp128/Asn128, Arg152, Ser126, Glu174; both structures were evaluated after 100 ns MD simulation.
