The structure of human TMEM45B with bound monosialodihexosylganglioside (GM3, 18:1;O2/24:1), presented here, determined by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to 2.8 Å, reveals a homotetrameric assembly of seven-transmembrane-helix protomers. The first six transmembrane helices from each protomer create a central hydrophobic tunnel that accommodates metal ions and the C24:1 fatty acid component of the ganglioside GM3. |
