Fig. 4. Versatile fenestration binding sites on the PD.

Fig. 4

a VPC and HDA are accommodated at the III-IV fenestration, and the elongated linear VXT projects into the central cavity from the IV-I fenestration. Two perpendicular views of the PD are shown. b Different binding poses at the fenestration sites. Shown here are cut-open electrostatic surfaces viewed from the extracellular side. The drugs are shown as spheres. c Details of VPC, HDA, and VXT coordination. d Different states of the IV-I fenestration in the presence of distinct pore blockers. The fenestration, which exists in the apo or VXT, HDA and VPC-bound channel, is gone in the presence of BPV, CBZ, or LCM accompanying the α→π transition of S6IV.
