Model of CLAG3.1 putative transmembrane domain and HVR insertion into the erythrocyte membrane. (A–C) Schematic illustrating a model for how a conformational change in the RhopH complex may drive insertion of the extracellular and putative transmembrane elements into the red blood cell plasma membrane.
