COPII vesicles transport proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Previous COPII-cage cryo-EM structures lacked the resolution necessary to determine the residues of Sec13 and Sec31 that mediate assembly and flexibility of the COPII cage. Here we present a 12-angstrom structure of the human COPII cage, where the tertiary structure of Sec13 and Sec31 is clearly identifiable. We employ this structure and a homology model of the Sec13-Sec31 complex to create a reliable pseudoatomic model of the COPII cage. We combined this model with hydrogen/deuterium-exchange MS analysis to characterize four distinct contact regions at the vertices of the COPII cage. Furthermore, we found that the two-fold symmetry of the Sec31 dimeric region in Sec13-Sec31 is broken upon cage formation and that the resulting hinge is essential to form the proper edge geometry in COPII cages.
