ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

Sample

Single-particle cryo-EM map of MFSD2A isoform B from zebrafish with a Fab in the inward open ligand 3C conformation at an average resolution of 3.4 A, filtered to local resolution

Specimen Preperation
Sample Aggregation State PARTICLE
Vitrification Instrument LEICA EM GP
Cryogen Name ETHANE
Sample Vitrification Details 400-mesh 1.2/1.3 Cu grids (Quantifoil) were made hydrophilic by glow discharging for two times 60 seconds with a current of 15 mA in a PELCO easiGlow system. The cryo grids were produced using a Leica EM GP (Leica). The chamber was kept at 4 C and 95% humidity (86-91% measured). 3 microliter sample at 3 mg/ml was applied to a glow-discharged holey grid, blotted for 6 s, and plunge frozen into liquid ethane and stored in liquid nitrogen.

Imaging Details Cryo-EM grids were loaded into a 300 keV FEI Titan Krios cryo electron microscope (ThermoFisher Scientific, formerly FEI) at HHMI Janelia Reasearch Campus, Janelia Krios 1, equipped with a Cs corrector, and Gatan energy filter and K3 camera (Gatan Inc.). Movies of 50 frames with 1 e-/A2 per frame (50 e-/A2 total dose) were automatically recorded at a nominal magnification of 81,000x, corresponding to a physical pixel size of 0.844 A/px (superresolution pixel size 0.422 A/px) in CDS mode at a dose rate of 9.5 e-/px/s (~7.5 e-/px/s on the camera through the sample) and a defocus range of -0.5 to -1.8 micrometer using SerialEM. In total, 2,653 and 8,443 movies were collected in two separate imaging sessions, with the first dataset on a 400-mesh copper grid and the second on a 300-mesh UltrAuFoil gold grid.
