Crystal structures have captured LeuT in key conformations visited during the transport cycle, allowing for the construction of a nearly complete model of transport, with much of the conformational dynamics studied by computational simulations. Here, we report crystal structures of LeuT representing new intermediate conformations between the outward-facing open and occluded states. These structures, combined with binding and accessibility studies, reveal details of conformational dynamics that can follow substrate binding at the central substrate-binding site (S1) of LeuT in outward-facing states, suggesting a potential competition for direction between the outward-open and outward-occluded states at this stage during substrate transport. Our structures further support an intimate interplay between the protonation state of Glu290 and binding of Na1 that may ultimately regulate the outward-open-to-occluded transition. Crystal structures of LeuT reveal conformational dynamics in the outward-facing states.,Fan J, Xiao Y, Quick M, Yang Y, Sun Z, Javitch JA, Zhou X J Biol Chem. 2021 Apr 1:100609. doi: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100609.
