Phasing of sSEMA4D data using MAD. (a) Selenium sites obtained from the PK-COMB combined peak data set demonstrating the expected twofold non-crystallographic symmetry (shown by the horizontal line; the pair of sites toward the left-hand edge are the low-occupancy sites). (b) Electron-density map (contoured at 1σ) for the phased PK-COMB data set after density modification and cross-crystal form averaging against NAT (spheres mark Se-atom sites). (c) Electron-density map (contoured at 1.2σ) obtained from the MAD-phased PK1 data set after phase improvement with RESOLVE showing the basic β-propeller structure (yellow lines show a roughly superposed Cα trace for the αVβ3 integrin β-propeller). (d) Sample of 2FobsFcalc electron density (blue lines, contour level 1σ) and FobsFcalc difference density (red lines, contour level −3σ; green lines, contour level +3σ) obtained using the HIRES data set and the final refined model showing radiation damage to the disulfide linkage between residues B260 and B305. Figure prepared using BOBSCRIPT (Esnouf, 1997BB5, 1999BB6) and rendered with RASTER3D (Merritt & Murphy, 1994BB15).
