Potential Role of the Last Half Repeat in TAL Effectors Revealed by a Molecular Simulation Study
Figure 8
The interactions between the last few repeats and DNA from representative structures in the nonmodeled (a) and the modeled (b) systems. The repeats, DNA, and water molecule are depicted with ribbons, tube, and CPK models, respectively. Repeats 14, 15, 16, 17, and 17.5 are labeled as R14, R15, R16, R17, and R17.5, respectively. Nucleotide bases cytosine 14, cytosine 15, cytosine 17, and adenine 19 are labeled as C14, C15, C17, and A19, respectively. Thymine 16 and thymine 18 are omitted for clarity.
