Predicted Tertiary and Quaternary Structure of BGlluviae Immunity Repressor protein. a Comparison of BGlluviae turbid plaque (gold) and clear plaque (blue) repressor protein tertiary structures. Helices are sequentially numbered from the N-terminus. Amino acid 54 is Ile in the turbid and Tyr in the clear plaques (side chains shown in helix 4). Helices 2 and 3 are the DNA binding helix-turn-helix motifs as shown in b. b BGlluviae Gene 43 models superimposed on Lambda CI Repressor Protein (PDB ID 1LMB, gold model). BGlluviae wildtype with amino acid 54 = Ile (blue model) and BGlluviae mutant with amino acid 54 = Thr, (pink model) were each oriented to one of the Lambda CI repressor subunits (gold). The helix numbers correspond to the model shown in a
