Fig. 5: A working model for Ca2+ activation of PKD1L3-CTD/2L1.
From: Structural basis for Ca2+ activation of the heteromeric PKD1L3/PKD2L1 channel

a An overall schematic illustration of the conformational changes of the heterochannel upon Ca2+ binding to the SF and VSDIII. The Ca2+ and Na+ ions are shown as red and orange circles, respectively. b A more detailed illustration of the change of channel segments corresponding to the two states shown above. Two diagonal views are shown.
