Movies were collected using a 300-kV Titan Krios G3i microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) equipped with a K3 BioQuantum direct electron detector (Gatan, USA). Cryo-EM micrographs were automatically recorded via FEI EPU software (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) with the energy filter slit set to 20 eV (49 (link)). Each micrograph was collected at a total dose of 50 e2 fractionated into 40 frames, and the defocus was set in the range from −1.0 to −1.8 μm. A super-resolution mode was used at a nominal magnification of ×64,000 with a pixel size of 0.67 Å.
Before image processing, raw frames were aligned and summed with dose weighting under MotionCor2.1 with the final pixel size of 1.34 Å (50 (link)), and the Contrast Transfer Function parameters were determined by CTFFIND-4 (51 (link)). Image processing was mainly performed in RELION 3.1 (52 (link)) and cryoSPARC 3.1.0 (53 (link)).
