The crystal structure also determined that the pentameric ring binds to another pentameric ring. Given the continuous chain formed by the DT strands it appears that the chain passes through the channel formed by subunits A and E in one pentamer. (which will now be referred to as A1 and E1). To pass through the channel in the second pentamer between A and B (now A2 and B2). In this direction the DNA strand runs in the 5’ to 3’ direction.<ref>PMID: 23975200 </ref>

T4 stabilized by electrostatic interactions with R83 from chain A and E51 from chain A. T5 forms hydrogen bonds with K96 of Chain E and forms van der Waal contacts with K135 chain A. (There are also van der wall interactions between the hydrophobic patch of the B6’-B7’ hairpin (L95E and L97E) and electrostatic interactions between K108 from the chain A loop between B7 and 8 and the 5’ phosphate)T6 forms a hydrogen bond with R64 of chain B, van der Waal interactions with L95E and L97E, and pi-pi interactions with W66 of chain B.
