Crystal structure of the plant symporter stp10 illuminates sugar uptake mechanism in monosaccharide transporter superfamily

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Peter Aasted Paulsen from the Aarhus University, Gustav Wieds Vej, Aarhus C, Denmark have published the Article: Crystal structure of the plant symporter STP10 illuminates sugar uptake mechanism in monosaccharide transporter superfamily, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
• what: Asp42 is located on the M1b helix flanked by 6 glycine residues (conserved in all STPs), giving M1b high flexibility, and the authors propose that local movements of M1b can be controlled by the protonation state of Asp42 (Fig 3b). The experiments were performed at least in triplicate and showed similar results.
