Integrative modeling reveals molecular architecture of autoinhibited KIF5B.
(A) The proposed model of autoinhibited KIF5B in cartoon diagram. The dashed lines indicates the crosslinked pairs. (B) A model of autoinhibited KIF5B via the integrative modeling. The gray density is the 3D reconstruction from the negative staining EM. Three eye icons showed the viewing directions in (C). (C) Three groups of crosslinked pairs were mapped onto the KIF5B model.
