The vault complex is a ubiquitous and predominantly cytoplasmic 13 MDa ribonucleoprotein assembly, composed of three proteins (TEP1, 240 kDa; VPARP, 193 kDa; and MVP, 100 kDa) and an untranslated RNA (vRNA) Although the basic cellular function of the vault is still unclear, recently it has been shown that induction of the major vault protein (MVP) has a direct negative influence on the nuclear uptake of the anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin. We have been applying cryo-EM single particle reconstruction methods to study the structure and molecular architecture of this cellular component. A published reconstruction of the intact rat vault at 31 Å resolution revealed that the complex is hollow and is structurally well suited to serve in macromolecular transport or sequestration. Higher resolution, 23 Å, was achieved for a reconstruction of the RNase-treated rat vault and difference imaging with the intact rat vault localized the vRNA to the ends of the vault caps.

AbstractSingle-particle reconstruction (SPR) and electron crystallography (EC), two major applications in electron microscopy, can be used to determine the structure of membrane proteins. The three-dimensional (3D) map is obtained from separated particles in conventional SPR, but from periodic unit cells in EC. Here, we report a refined SPR procedure for processing 2D crystal images. The method is applied to 2D crystals of melibiose permease, a secondary transporter inEscherichia coli. The current procedure is improved from our previously published one in several aspects. The “gold standard Fourier shell correlation” resolution of our final reconstruction reaches 13 Å, which is significantly better than the previously obtained 17 Å resolution. The choices of different refinement parameters for reconstruction are discussed. Our refined SPR procedure could be applied to determine the structure of other membrane proteins in small or locally distorted 2D crystals, which are not ideal for EC.
