a, Representative micrograph of cRNA-bound FluPolA in complex with Nb8205 embedded in vitreous ice. b, Representative 2D class averages. c, FSC curves for the 3D reconstruction using gold-standard refinement in RELION, indicating overall map resolution of 3.79 Å and 4.15 Å for the monomeric and dimeric FluPolA form, respectively, and the model-to-map FSC. Curves are shown for phase randomisation, unmasked, masked and phase-randomisation-corrected masked maps. d, f, 3D reconstruction locally filtered and coloured according to RELION local resolution for the dimeric (d) and monomeric (f) form. e, g, Angular distribution of particle projections for the dimeric (e) and monomeric (g) form with the cryo-EM map shown in grey. h, Dimer of FluPolA heterotrimers bound to cRNA promoter and Nb8205 rigid body fitted into the cryo-EM map of dimeric cRNA-bound FluPolA heterotrimer in complex with Nb8205. i, Cryo-EM map of the dimeric cRNA-bound FluPolA heterotrimer in complex with Nb8205 revealing an extra density (green) located next to the 3ʹ end of the 5ʹ cRNA, as observed for the cRNA-bound FluPolA dimer (Extended Data Fig. 3g, h).
