Figure 3

Structural representation of the major pilin subunits of B. bifidum PRL2010. BBPR_1707, BBPR_1821 and BBPR_0283 are colored in cyan, green and yellow, respectively. The pilin motifs (residues 188-197 in BBPR_1707, 184-191 in BBPR_1821 and 224-231 in BBPR_0283) are highlighted in red. The side chains of the conserved lysines in these three pilin motifs (K197 in BBPR_1707, K191 in BBPR_1821 and K231 in BBPR_0283) are shown as sticks and balls. The E-box motif in each model is colored in black (residues 445-456 in BBPR_1707, 428-439 in BBPR_1821 and 438-449 in BBPR_0283).
