Crystal structure of the second extracellular domain of human tetraspanin CD9: twinning and diffuse scattering.


ABSTRACT: Remarkable features are reported in the diffraction pattern produced by a crystal of the second extracellular domain of tetraspanin CD9 (deemed CD9EC2), the structure of which has been described previously [Oosterheert et al. (2020 ▸), Life Sci. Alliance, 3, e202000883]. CD9EC2 crystallized in space group P1 and was twinned. Two types of diffuse streaks are observed. The stronger diffuse streaks are related to the twinning and occur in the direction perpendicular to the twinning interface. It is concluded that the twin domains scatter coherently as both Bragg reflections and diffuse streaks are seen. The weaker streaks along c* are unrelated to the twinning but are caused by intermittent layers of non-crystallographic symmetry related molecules. It is envisaged that the raw diffraction images could be very useful for methods developers trying to remove the diffuse scattering to extract accurate Bragg intensities or using it to model the effect of packing disorder on the molecular structure.
