Crystallography of the large cytosolic domain of IP3R. (A) Bipyramidal crystals of IP3R1585 (Left) and an X-ray diffraction image measured from the crystal (Center). (Right) Magnification of the boxed area. (B) Structure determination statistics of IP3R2217 and IP3R1585 by molecular replacement. The polyalanine (PolyA) models refined in the C2221#, P42212##, and P42### crystal lattices were used as search models. (C) Electron density maps in gray (2Fo-Fc, contoured at 1.5 σ) or in green (Fo-Fc, contoured at 3.0 σ), calculated from molecular replacement of the C2221 dataset using each search model presented in the upper table. Note that the residual electron density outside the search model was visible in 2Fo-Fc and Fo-Fc maps. LLG, log-likelihood gain; TFZ, translation function z-score.
