Fig. 3

a Heterogeneous refinement (K = 4) of xKCNQ1-CaM-ML277 data set 1 showed three KCNQ1 classes (see Supplementary Fig. 3). Two classes with similar twist were pooled and refined shown here as class I whereas the third class is shown as class II for clarity. Both classes have different CTD twist degrees between them, and compared to our native and previously studied xKCNQ1-CaM map (PDB-ID: 5VMS), indicating a flexibility in the ML277-induced twist of the coiled-coil CTD. The native structure which was determined in this work is shown in light blue. This twist was also observed for the xKCNQ1-CaM-ML277 data set 2. b The twist of the CTD in the ML277-bound xKCNQ1-CaM (light green) compared to our and previously studied native structures (blue and brown, respectively) shows a displacement of the backbone by ~1 Å at the top of the CTD (Asp526) and due to the propagated twist up to ~3 Å around the last modeled residue, Leu556.
