Notes & References
- ↑ A Geobacter sulfurreducens pilin (pilA) homology model was constructed by Swiss-Model, templated on the X-ray crystallographic structure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pilin (1oqw, chain A). This model represents residues 1-60 of the mature pilin protein (length 61 amino acids: residues 30-90 of Q74D23), sequence FTLIELLIVVAIIGILAAIAIPQFSAYRVKAYNSAASSDLRNLKTALESAFADDQTYPPES. This monomer includes six aromatic residues, F1, F24, Y27, Y32, F51 and Y57.
- ↑ We employed the NMR structure of Geobacter sulfurreducens pilin, 2m7g. We employed model 5 of this 18-conformer ensemble because model 5 had the best clash score and MolProbity score.
- ↑ The Geobacter sequence is identical to the template Pseudomonas sequence in 22 of the first 23 residues. Residues 24-50 have 26% sequence identity.
