Nevertheless, cryoEM sample preparation of challenging proteins and complexes, especially those with low abundance or with preferential orientation, remains a major hurdle. We developed an affinity-grid method employing monodispersed single particle streptavidin on a lipid monolayer to enhance particle absorption on the grid surface and alleviate sample exposure to the air-water interface. Using this approach, we successfully enriched the Thermococcus kodakarensis mini-chromosome maintenance complex 3 (MCM3) on cryoEM grids through biotinylation and resolved its structure. We further utilized this affinity method to tether the biotin-tagged dsDNA to selectively enrich a stable MCM3-ATP-dsDNA complex for cryoEM structure determination. Intriguingly, both MCM3 apo and dsDNA bound structures exhibit left-handed open spiral conformations, distinct from other reported MCM structures. The large open gate is sufficient to accommodate a dsDNA which could potentially be melted. The value of mspSA affinity method was further demonstrated by mitigating the issue of preferential angular distribution of HIV-1 capsid protein hexamer and RNA polymerase II elongation complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. |
