Structural basis of a phosphotransferase system xylose transporter

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1002/1873-3468.70135 · Paper page

Abstract

The bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS) is essential for carbohydrate uptake, and IIC transporters in the system facilitate intracellular sugar transport. Here, we report the crystal and cryo-EM structures of Leminorella grimontii GatC (LgGatC), a putative xylose transporter in the IIC family, in its outward-facing state. Structural analysis indicates that the outward-facing cavity recognizes the linear form of D-xylose. A structure-based homology model of an inward-facing state supports an elevator-like sugar transport mechanism. These findings provide insights into PTS-mediated xylose transport and its potential applications in microbial engineering.

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.
