Figure 2: Structure of ASIC1mfc. a, View of the functional ASIC1mfc trimer. Chloride ions are green spheres. The 'thumb', 'finger' and wrist regions are labelled. Grey bars suggest the boundaries of the outer (out) and inner (in) leaflets of the membrane bilayer. b, A vertical slice through a solvent-accessible surface representation of the transmembrane domain, the extracellular vestibule and fenestrations. One of the three equivalent fenestrations is indicated by an arrow. Asp 433 defines the bottom of the extracellular vestibule. c, Key interactions between symmetry-related Asp 433 carboxyl and Tyr 425 hydroxyl groups.
