Synergistic activation of the human phosphate exporter XPR1 by KIDINS220 and inositol pyrophosphate
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Abstract Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is fundamental to life, and its intracellular concentration must be tightly regulated to prevent toxicity. XPR1, the only known phosphate exporter, plays a crucial role in maintaining this delicate balance. However, the mechanisms underlying the function and regulation of XPR1 remain elusive until now. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of the human XPR1-KIDINS220 complex in both substrate-free closed states and substrate-bound outward-open states, as well as the structure of an XPR1 mutant alone in a substrate-bound inward-facing state. In the presence of inositol hexaphosphate (InsP6) and phosphate, the XPR1-KIDINS220 complex adopts an outward-open conformation. InsP6 binds both the SPX domain and the peripheral juxtamembrane regions of XPR1, indicative of an active phosphate-export state. Conversely, in the absence of either phosphate or InsP6, the complex assumes a closed state, where the extracellular half of transmembrane 9 occupies the outward cavity, and a C-terminal plug-in loop blocks the intracellular cavity. Notably, XPR1 without KIDINS220 adopts a closed state despite the presence of phosphate and InsP6. The functional mutagenesis experiments further demonstrate that InsP6, whose concentrations fluctuate in response to Pi availability, functions synergistically with KIDINS220 to regulate the phosphate export activity of XPR1. These findings not only elucidate the intricate mechanisms of cellular phosphate regulation but also hold promise for the development of targeted therapies for ovarian cancer, where XPR1 plays a significant role.

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.
