This entry represents the C-terminal domain (CTD) of baseplate structural protein Gp10 that assembles into trimeric structures. The core structure and assembly of Gp10 has structural similarity to that of the head domain of Gp11 and the receptor binding domain of Gp12 [1]. The monomeric CTD of Gp10 consists of an alpha-helix followed by a three-stranded, antiparallel beta-sheet, which is almost perpendicular to the helix. The three symmetry related beta-sheets interact with their first beta-strands in the trimer, thus creating a flower-like arrangement with the alpha-helices being the flower stem and the three beta-sheets being the petals.
