Figure 1
Structure of EmrE determined by cryo-EM at 7.5 Å resolution. (a) A view perpendicular to the membrane plane, with density contoured at 2σ (red mesh) to which α-helices were fitted by eye. TPP+ is represented by a space-filling model. Half arrows represent the in-plane pseudo-twofold axis that relates the two monomers. The superposition of helices A–D onto helices H–E after rotation by 160° about the twofold axis is shown from a side view (b) and top view (c).
