doi: 10.3390/microorganisms9102151
Figure Lengend Snippet: AlphaFold2 structure predictions of Vinitor162 Dit and Tal. ( A ) Dit domain organization (top). Ribbon representations of the predicted belt and galectin domains (rainbow) and the phage p2 Dit belt–arm and galectin domains (pink). ( B ) Tal domain organization in the N-terminal region (top). Ribbon representations of the Tal and CBM_1 predicted structure s(rainbow) and their Dali hits, the listerial phage EGD-e Tal structural domain (light blue), and a CAZy CBM15 (light green), respectively. ( C ) Tal domain organization in the middle of the protein (top). Ribbon representations of the predicted CBM_2 to CBM_5 (rainbow) and their Dali hits. Besides CBM_2, the three other CBMs correspond to CAZy CBM22, CBM4, and CBM22. ( D ) Tal domain organization in the C-terminal region (top). Ribbon representations of the predicted Tal C-terminal domain (rainbow) compared to Dali hits, a R2 pyocin spike (orange), and a T5 fiber chaperone (pink) at each extremity.
Article Snippet: However, in the last few weeks, the structure prediction software AlphaFold2 developed by the DeepMind company has become publicly available and may change the landscape of phage structural studies [ , , ].
