Structure of TRPV1 channel revealed by electron cryomicroscopy.
The transient receptor potential (TRP) family of ion channels participate in many signaling pathways. TRPV1 functions as a molecular integrator of noxious stimuli, including heat, low pH, and chemical ligands. Here, we report the 3D structure of full-length rat TRPV1 channel expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and purified by immunoaffinity chromatography. We demonstrate that the re...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of infectious bursal disease virus determined by electron cryomicroscopy.
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a member of the Birnaviridae group, is a commercially important pathogen of chickens. From electron micrographs of frozen, hydrated, unstained specimens, we have computed a three-dimensional map of IBDV at about 2 nm resolution. The map shows that the structure of the virus is based on a T=13 lattice and that the subunits are predominantly trimer clustere...
متن کاملBackbone trace of partitivirus capsid protein from electron cryomicroscopy and homology modeling.
Most dsRNA viruses have a genome-enclosing capsid that comprises 120 copies of a single coat protein (CP). These 120 CP subunits are arranged as asymmetrical dimers that surround the icosahedral fivefold axes, forming pentamers of dimers that are thought to be assembly intermediates. This scheme is violated, however, in recent structures of two dsRNA viruses, a fungal virus from family Partitiv...
متن کاملStructure of the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor revealed by electron cryomicroscopy.
The three-dimensional structure of the type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R1) has been determined by electron cryomicroscopy and single-particle reconstruction. The receptor was immunoaffinity-purified and formed functional InsP3- and heparin-sensitive channels with a unitary conductance similar to native InsP3Rs. The channel structure exhibits the expected 4-fold symmetry and c...
متن کاملThe dynamic envelope of a fusion class II virus. Prefusion stages of semliki forest virus revealed by electron cryomicroscopy.
Semliki Forest virus is among the prototypes for Class II virus fusion and targets the endosomal membrane. Fusion protein E1 and its envelope companion E2 are both anchored in the viral membrane and form an external shell with protruding spikes. In acid environments, mimicking the early endosomal milieu, surface epitopes in the virus rearrange along with exposure of the fusion loop. To visualiz...
