Potential Role of the Last Half Repeat in TAL Effectors Revealed by a Molecular Simulation Study

Figure 5

The height change of the superhelical structure of AvrBs3. (a) The height of the first half of the superhelical structure is assessed by the distance between the Cα atoms of Ala277 and Ala652 and that of the second by the distance between the Cα atoms of Pro495 and Leu857. (b) The height change of the first half of the superhelical structure versus simulation (solid line) and the value from crystal structure (dotted line). (c) The height change of the second half of the superhelical structure versus simulation (solid line) and the value from crystal structure (dotted line).
