We report a powerful and flexible method for the affinity capture of target proteins for cryo-EM analysis that utilizes small-molecule ligands as bait for concentrating human target proteins directly onto the grid surface for single-particle reconstruction. This approach is demonstrated for human p97, captured using two different small-molecule high-affinity ligands of this AAA+ ATPase. Four electron density maps are revealed, each representing a p97 conformational state captured from solution, including a double-hexamer structure resolved to 3.6 Å. These results demonstrate that the noncovalent capture of protein targets on EM grids modified with high-affinity ligands can enable the structure elucidation of multiple configurational states of the target and potentially inform structure-based drug design campaigns. |
