Image processing [1]
Details: A total of 72,146 particles were automatically selected from 1,200 independent images and extracted within boxes of 280 pixels x 280 pixels using EMAN2/BOXER. The CTF was estimated and corrected by phase flipping using EMAN2 (e2ctf). All two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) classifications and refinements were performed using RELION 1.3 . We used three rounds of reference-free 2D class averaging to clean up the automatically selected dataset. Only highly populated classes displaying high-resolution features were conserved during this procedure and a final dataset of 26,544 particles was assembled. An initial 3D-model was generated in EMAN2 using using 30 classes. 3D classification was then performed in Relion with 5 classes. The particles corresponding to most populated class (~ 16,738) were used for refinement. Relion auto-refine procedure was used to obtain a final reconstruction at 11.56-A resolution after masking and with C5 symmetry imposed. Reported resolutions are based on the gold-standard Fourier shell correlation (FSC) 0.143 criterion, and FSC curve were corrected for the effects of a soft mask on the FSC curve using high-resolution noise substitution .
