However, these structures are all in a similar state and information about the motion of different elements of the structure is limited, preventing a deeper understanding of how these channels work. Here, we used cryoelectron microscopy to determine high-resolution structures of Arabidopsis thaliana OSCA1.2 and OSCA2.3 in peptidiscs. The structure of OSCA1.2 matches previous structures of the same protein in different environments. Yet, in OSCA2.3, the TM6a-TM7 linker adopts a different conformation that constricts the pore on its cytoplasmic side. Furthermore, coevolutionary sequence analysis uncovered a conserved interaction between the TM6a-TM7 linker and the beam-like domain (BLD). Our results reveal conformational heterogeneity and differences in conserved interactions between the TMD and BLD among members of the OSCA family. |
