Structural analysis of the 45S particles. (A) Surface representation of the cryo-EM map of the mature 50S subunit. (B–C) Surface representation of the 45S maps in the I-a (B) and II-a (C) states, superimposed with their missing components. (D–F) Surface representation of the cryo-EM maps of the mature 50S subunit (D), I-a (E) and II-a (F) states of the 45S particles, with their respective flexibly fitted atomic models superimposed. For simplification, only I-a and II-a states are shown. (G–I) Representative class averages of the cryo-EM raw images for the three conformational states (Mature, I-a and II-a), produced by a reference-free classification.
