Schematic of the interaction between HCN and TRIP8b, reproduced from our previous report. A single subunit of HCN is represented in black, with the cyclic-nucleotide binding domain (CNBD) and C terminal tail (SNL) highlighted. TRIP8b contains a variable N terminus (in green) as well as a domain that interacts with the CNBD (represented by a red shape) and a series of TPR domains (gray shapes) that interact with the C terminus of HCN.
