“…Despite their moderate amino acid sequence similarities, several class I chaperones share a conserved mixed ␣/ fold and form dimeric structures, as revealed by crystal structure analyses (36,37,68,169,321,327,340,441,494,520,553,565). Conserved structural features were also described for the chaperone-binding domains (CBDs) of T3S substrates, which are often located within the N-terminal 50 to 100 amino acids and are wrapped around the chaperone dimer in an extended conformation (37,321,441,494,520,598).…”
