Fig. 4. Distribution of different protomer conformations in Cx43 GJICh particles.

Fig. 4

a Distribution of various compositions of PLN protomers within GJICh particles. Three datasets of Cx43 in detergents and nanodiscs were analyzed. For each dataset, the highest percentage is indicated by an asterisk. b Distribution of various compositions of GCN (left), FIN (middle), and PLN (right) protomers in each half of the GJICh particles for Cx43-M257 in POPE nanodiscs (condition 8). c Schematic drawings for the possible arrangements of PLN protomers in hemichannels for the three datasets shown in (a). Orange and gray circles represent PLN protomers and the others (GCN or FIN), respectively. For all arrangements, the predicted probability and experimental values from the three datasets are indicated. d Interfaces between protomers for Cx43-M257 heteromeric GJICh composed of PLN (orange) and GCN (green) protomers. Residues at the interfaces between the protomers were drawn as sticks. e Interfaces between protomers for Cx43-M257 heteromeric GJICh composed of PLN (orange) and FIN (red) protomers.
