Figure 2. Rearrangements of the cytoplasmic domains in the TRPV3K169A structure.
(A) The cytoplasmic inter-protomer interface in TRPV3WT (left panel) and TRPV3K169A (right panel). The CTD and the putative N-terminal region are highlighted in red and purple, respectively. (B) Close-up view of the rearrangements in the cytoplasmic domains. In the TRPV3WT, the distal CTD (highlighted in red) coils around the βCD (highlighted in grey) (left panel). In the TRPV3K169A structure, the distal CTD undergoes a coil-to-helix transition (highlighted in red). An additional polypeptide density (highlighted in purple) is observed near the front of the βCD (highlighted in grey) and the proximal CTD, in the vicinity of the space occupied by the distal CTD coil in TRPV3WT and was assigned as a putative N-terminal domain from the neighboring protomer (NTD−1).
