Fig. 7

a Spin-labeling positions are shown between intracellular pair N305CIrtB-S221CIrtB (green) and extracellular pairs S51CIrtB-S153CIrtB (blue) or A362CIrtA-T579CIrtA (orange) for cryo-EM structures (IF and OFoccl conformation) or a homology model based on the OFopen TM287/288 structure. IrtA is colored teal, and IrtB is magenta, and cysteines are shown as spheres. Dotted lines connect the thiol-groups. b Distances between nitroxide spin-labels (MTSSL) were simulated based on cryo-EM structures (for IF and OFoccl conformation, shaded gray and red areas, respectively) or the homology model (shaded blue) shown in (a). Measured distance distributions are shown as solid lines. The distance distributions and their corresponding uncertainties (shown as gray-shaded areas around the curves corresponding to a 95 % confidence bound) were determined using a neural network analysis (ref. 53).
