Fitting Procedure
DetailsOur model of eIF2aP:eIF2B (PDB code:6I3M) was fitted and then iteratively refined using phenix and manually adjusted in Coot.eIF2 alpha domain 3, eIF2 gamma, and eIF2 beta (3JAP) were rigid body fitted into our map, Fourier filtered 15A resolution, using UCSF_Chimera.

CTF Correction TypeCTF Correction DetailsNumber of Particles SelectedParticle Selection Details
PHASE FLIPPING AND AMPLITUDE CORRECTIONCTF determination was performed per micrograph initially. After particle picking and initial reconstruction, per particle CTF determination was performed.1143902024 images were selected for particle picking. Initially, 3090 particles were picked manually and used for 2D classification into 20 classes. The best 8 classes (containing 2162 particles) were selected and used as references for automated particle picking in RELION. Particles on the lacey carbon, not in holes, were manually deleted in RELION, before extraction and further iterative cleaning by classification.
