Fig. 1. Cryo-EM maps of three NAMs bound to the resting-state GluA1/2_γ8 AMPAR.
a Chemical structures of the three NAMs. The shared oxindole isostere is labelled red, the variable groups are shown in black. b Cryo-EM map of the GluA1/2_γ8 LBD (Ligand Binding Domain) and TMD (Transmembrane Domain) sectors, associated with LY-481. The colour code of protein, lipid and NAM is indicated below the map. Subunits are also labelled as described in the text (GluA1: A, C; GluA2: B, D; TARP γ8: B’, D’). c Cryo-EM maps of each NAM in side view. TARP γ8 (helix M4) is shown in green, GluA1 (helix M1) in blue. Also shown are three GluA1 residues involved in NAM co-ordination (Tyr519, Met523, Phe527).
