Details are found in the methods. In short, 3,285 micrographs were collected on a Krios equipped with Gatan K2 direct electron detector. Heterogeneous refinement was used to remove junk, with 2D classification as a form of verification. Once an ideal particle stack was identified, subsequent rounds of heterogeneous refinement were combined with local CTF refinement and Bayesian polishing to further improve the map. Local refinement of Gi/s helped bring out features in the periphery of the structure. The model was built into the consensus and local refinements, and then used to generate a composite map that was used for the final round of real-space refinement.
