Abstract

ATP-binding cassette transporters couple ATP hydrolysis to substrate translocation through an alternating access mechanism, but the nature of the conformational changes in a transport cycle remains elusive. Previously we reported the structure of the maltose transporter MalFGK2 in an outward-facing conformation where the transmembrane (TM) helices outline a substrate-binding pocket open towards the periplasmic surface and ATP is poised for hydrolysis along the closed nucleotide-binding dimer interface. Here we report the structure of the nucleotide-free maltose transporter in which the substrate binding pocket is only accessible from the cytoplasm and the nucleotide-binding interface is open. Comparison of the same transporter crystallized in two different conformations reveals that alternating access involves rigid-body rotations of the TM subdomains that are coupled to the closure and opening of the nucleotide-binding domain interface. The comparison also reveals that point mutations enabling binding-protein independent transport line dynamic interfaces in the TM region.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
