YceB may dimerize similarly to eukaryotic TULIPs. a YceB dimer in 3L6I crystals, with solid surfaces of chains A (light blue) and B (pink), with histidines used to tag and purify the domain shown as spheres (2 in chain A = blue, 3 in chain B = red) [17]. b Two views of the Cα backbone of 3L6I_A with the TULIP core in light blue and accessory elements preceding and following the core in dark blue, showing side chains only for the histidines introduced for tagging. c β-meander for the dimerization interface between the two domains of BPI (bright and dull yellows) aligned with two copies of the three β-strands in YceB (one blue, one red). d Two views of a model YceB dimer, made by omitting the short C-terminal helix, positioning two monomers into the BPI dimerizing interface shown in (c)
