Cryo-EM structure of the Slo2.2 Na+-activated K+ channel
Na+-activated K+ channels are members of the Slo family of large conductance K+ channels that are widely expressed in the brain, where their opening regulates neuronal excitability. These channels are fascinating for the biological roles they fulfill as well as for their intriguing biophysical properties, including conductance levels ten times most other K+ channels and gating sensitivity to in...
متن کاملGraDeR: Membrane Protein Complex Preparation for Single-Particle Cryo-EM.
We developed a method, named GraDeR, which substantially improves the preparation of membrane protein complexes for structure determination by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). In GraDeR, glycerol gradient centrifugation is used for the mild removal of free detergent monomers and micelles from lauryl maltose-neopentyl glycol detergent stabilized membrane complexes, resulting i...
متن کاملModeling Protein Structure Features from Three Dimensional Cryo-EM Images
Secondary structure of protein, such as α-helix and βsheet, is the general three-dimensional (3D) form of local segments. It can be identified from the 3D electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) density images at medium resolutions (~5-10Å). A detected β-sheet can be represented by either the voxels of β-sheet density or by many piecewise polygons to compose a rough surface. However, none of these is...
متن کاملCryo-EM structure of a transcribing cypovirus.
Double-stranded RNA viruses in the family Reoviridae are capable of transcribing and capping nascent mRNA within an icosahedral viral capsid that remains intact throughout repeated transcription cycles. However, how the highly coordinated mRNA transcription and capping process is facilitated by viral capsid proteins is still unknown. Cypovirus provides a good model system for studying the mRNA ...
متن کاملIsolation of yeast complex IV in native lipid nanodiscs.
We used the amphipathic styrene maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer to extract cytochrome c oxidase (CytcO) in its native lipid environment from S. cerevisiae mitochondria. Native nanodiscs containing one CytcO per disc were purified using affinity chromatography. The longest cross-sections of the native nanodiscs were 11nm×14nm. Based on this size we estimated that each CytcO was surrounded by ~100 p...
