TABLE 6.

The volumes of six cavities in the cytoplasmic side of BR structures 1F50 (Br state), 1F4Z (early M state), and 1JV7 (O-like state)

BR (1F50) M (1F4Z) O (1JV7)
Color* Volume Boundary helices Volume Boundary helices Volume Boundary helices
Blue 1 71 A, B, C, G 93 A, B, C, G 95 A, B, C, G
Green 3 18 C, E, F 66 C, E, F 53 C, E, F
Orange§ 4 23 B, C, F, G 27 C, F, G 34 B, C, F, G
Purple 6 Too small 14 A, B, G
Yellow 7 21 C, D, E Fractured 19 C, D, E
Lilac** 8 9.7 C, D 7.5 D, E Fractured

Bold numbers correspond with cavities that expanded significantly during the Br → Early M transition. The volume is given in Å3 units.

Contributing atoms: 1F50: Helix B: F42:CD1, CE1; Helix C:D96:C, O, CB; L97:CD2;L100:CD1, CD2; Helix F: L174:CD1; Helix G: F219:CZ; L223:CD1, CD2. 1F4Z: Helix C: D96:C, O, CB; L97: CD2; L100:CD2; Helix F: L174:CD1; Helix G: F219:CE1, CZ, CD1; L223:CD2. 1JV7: Helix B: F42:CD2, CE2; Helix C: D96:C, O, CB; L97:CA, CD1; L100:CG, CD1; Helix F: L174:CD1; Helix G: F219:CE2, CZ; L223:CD1, CD2.

Contributing atoms: 1F4Z: Helix A: F27: CB; Helix B: Y43:CA, O, CD1; T46:C, CB, OG1; Helix G: L224:CD1. In 1F50 and 1JV7, this cavity becomes too small to be detected with a probe radius of 1 Å.

Contributing atoms: 1F50: Helix C: L94:CA, O, CB, CD2; L97:CB; A98:N, CA, CB; Helix D: L111: CD1; Helix E: L152:CD2; F156:CE2, CZ. 1JV7: Helix C: L94:CA, O, CB, CD2; L97:CB; A98:CB; Helix D: L111:CD1; Helix E: L152:CD2; F156:CE2. In 1F4Z, this cavity is accessible to the bulk, and hence is not detected by our screening.
