Fig. 3. The cryo-EM structure of cLPCAT3 bound with LPC (12:0).

Fig. 3

a The cartoon representation of the cLPCAT3/LPC molecular model as viewed parallel to the ER membrane. The non-protein electron density in the horizontal tunnel was shown in the green surface and the LPC (12:0) molecules that fit in the density were shown as a stick-and-ball model. b The binding of the LPC molecule within the horizontal tunnel. The intersecting surfaces of the T-shape chamber of cLPCAT3 were shown parallel to the ER membrane. The horizontal tunnel was highlighted in pink. c The interaction of LPC with residues in the horizontal tunnel. The catalytic residue H388 was marked with an asterisk. d The TLC assay results on the purified wild type cLPCAT3 (dark column) and LPP-related mutants (gray columns). The enzymatic activities of mutants were normalized as the percentage of that of the wild type cLPCAT3. The results were shown as mean ± s.d. of experiments, n = 3 independent experiments for all mutants. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test was applied and the 95% CI was calculated by Graphpad Prism (version 6.01) and p-values were labeled above the histogram.
