3D structural model of FAM134B-RHD from MD simulations. a, b Transmembrane fragments fold into helical hairpins (red and blue helices in (a) TM12 and (b) TM34. Flanking charged and polar residues and luminal loop residues anchor the two hairpins within the ER membrane (labeled side chains). c, d Linker and C-terminal fragments form amphipathic helices (c) AHL and (d) AHC (yellow cartoon). Polar (colored labels) and apolar residues (yellow labels) on opposite sides position the helices at the water–bilayer interface. e Overlapping, individually refined fragment structures were used to assemble the FAM134B-RHD (80–260) structural model. The model was first equilibrated using coarse-grained simulations and then refined with all-atom MD simulations. f Time-averaged local membrane profile (gray mesh; top, side, and 3D views) around FAM134B-RHD (colored) computed from all-atom MD simulations displays perturbations of the bilayer structure
