Extended Data Figure 3. Cryo-EM analysis of TMEM16A solubilized in LMNG.
a, A representative cryo-EM micrograph of LMNG-solubilized TMEM16A. Green circles indicate individual particles. b, Representative 2D class averages from boxed particles with a 256 pixels box size (261.12 Å) and TMEM16A in complex with Fabs (bottom row, with the two right panels showing particles after subtraction of densities for Fabs). c, Eular angle distribution of all particles included in the final 3D reconstruction. The size of the spheres is proportional to the number of particles visualized from that specific orientation. d, FSC curves of two independently refined maps before (blue) and after (red) post-processing in RELION. Curves with resolution corresponding to FSC = 0.143 are shown. e, Planar slices through the unsharpened EM density map at different levels along the channel symmetry axis. f, Local resolution of TMEM16A as estimated by RELION and shown with pseudo-color representation of resolution. g, Cross-validation using FSC curves of the density map calculated from the refined model versus half map 1 (work), versus half map 2 (free), and versus summed map. h, Directional FSC (dFSC) from different Fourier cones. Each curve indicates a different direction. dFSC for TMEM16A alone in LMNG in grey (average in yellow); dFSC for combination of TMEM16A alone and with Fabs bound in LMNG in purple (average in red). i, Calculated resolution from different views (grey for combination of TMEM16A alone and with Fabs bound, yellow for TMEM16A alone). The directions are indicated as x, y, and z in the 3D resolution map. The highest and lowest resolutions are labeled with red and blue circles respectively. The green circle shows global average resolution.
