    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy shows that the ExbB pentamer encloses a dimer of ExbD in its transmembrane pore, and not a monomer as previously reported. Ton subcomplex consists of a pentamer of ExbB enclosing a dimer of ExbD TM domains. The essential Asp25 residues on ExbD are in close proximity to the conserved Thr 148 and 181 on ExbB.
      Title: Cryo-EM structure of the bacterial Ton motor subcomplex ExbB-ExbD provides information on structure and stoichiometry.
    2. Channel current measurement and 2D crystallography support the existence and transition of the two oligomeric states in membranes. The hexameric complex consists of six ExbB subunits and three ExbD transmembrane helices enclosed within the central channel.
