Figure 4: C-linker interactions and cyclic nucleotide-dependent tetramer formation. a, Stereoview of intersubunit C-linker contacts. Helices A' and B' of one protomer are in red, and helices C' and D' of an adjacent protomer are in blue. b, HCN2I sedimentation equilibrium data in the absence (top) and presence (bottom) of cAMP. The measurements and the models used to fit the experimental data are shown as open yellow circles and thin black lines, respectively. The thick black, red and blue lines represent, respectively, the proportion of monomer, dimer and tetramer calculated from the models. The residuals are shown for a monomer -dimer (red) or a monomer -dimer -tetramer (blue) model (top), and for a monomer -dimer (red) or a monomer -tetramer (blue) model (bottom). c, Cartoon of an unliganded closed channel (left) and a liganded open channel (right).
