Dimerization of Hepatitis E Virus Capsid Protein E2s Domain Is Essential for Virus–Host Interaction
Figure 6
Mapping of site-directed mutation on E2s.
A transparent surface representation of the subunit of the E2s dimer is shown at two different orientations. (A) Shows the dimerization mutants and (B) shows the groove region mutants. Figure 6(B) is 180° rotated with respected to Figure 6(A). Further the view of Figure 6(A) is related to the view of Figure 1(A) with an anticlockwise rotation of 90°. All mutated residues are shown in ball and stick model. Residues playing roles in the E2s dimerization are shown in blue. Residues in the groove region that were mutated to study the reactivity of mAb are shown in magenta. This figure was prepared using PyMol [34].
