Crystal Structure of BamB from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Functional Evaluation of Its Conserved Structural Features

BamB Surface Residue Conservation Analysis.
335 BamB sequences were subjected to Consurf analysis to create conservations scores (see text for details). The conservation is color coded as follows: conservation scores are segregated into 9 discrete bins, such that bin 1 contains the most rapidly evolving residues (most variable) and is colored blue; bin 5 contains residues with average rate of evolution (colored white); and bin 9 has the most conserved residues and is colored dark purple. (A) Side view of a surface representation of BamB displaying a patch of conserved residues on the side of the propeller. (D) Close up of the region framed in (C) detailing the interactions at the groove between blades 6 and 7 and the N-terminal loop.
