Abstract

We report here transport of full-length epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Insulin Receptor, 7-pass transmembrane receptor Smoothened, and 13-pass Sodium-iodide symporter to extracellular vesicles (EVs) for structural and functional studies. Mass spectrometry confirmed the transported proteins are the most abundant in EV membranes, and the presence of many receptor-interacting proteins in EVs demonstrates their utility for characterizing membrane protein interactomes. Cryo-electron tomography of EGFR-containing EVs reveals that EGFR forms clusters in both the presence and absence of EGF with a ~3 nm gap between the inner membrane and cytoplasmic density. EGFR extracellular region (ECR) dimers do not form regular arrays in these clusters. Subtomogram averaging of the 150 kDa EGF-bound EGFR ECR dimer yielded a 15 Å map into which the crystal structure of the ligand-bound EGFR ECR dimer fits well. These findings refine our understanding of EGFR activation, clustering, and signaling and establish EVs as a versatile platform for structural and functional characterization of human membrane proteins in cell-derived membranes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
