Extended Data Fig. 7. Intra- and Inter-ring contacts.

Extended Data Fig. 7

(a) Flattened surface representation showing conformational differences between closed-TRiC and open-TRiC in the equatorial (E), intermediate (I) and apical (A) domains. (b) Views of the network of N-terminal extensions between subunits across the ring interface in closed-TRiC state (top). Note that these interactions were not observed in open-TRiC state (bottom) due to disorder of the N-terminal extensions. (c,d) Flat rendering of the CCT2-CCT2’ inter-ring stacking in closed-TRiC (c) and open-TRiC (d). Compared to closed-TRiC, rearranged helix α15 pushes loop α4-α5 from the trans subunit away from the interface. Inter-ring contacts are now mediated between the entire helical face of α15, and loop α13-α14 from the trans subunit.
