We herein present the 2.2-3.1 A-resolution cryo-EM structures of a Golgi-localized human Zn(2+)/H(+) antiporter ZnT7 (hZnT7) in Zn(2+)-bound and unbound forms. Cryo-EM analyses show that hZnT7 exists as a dimer via tight interactions in both the cytosolic and transmembrane (TM) domains of two protomers, each of which contains a single Zn(2+)-binding site in its TM domain. hZnT7 undergoes a TM-helix rearrangement to create a negatively charged cytosolic cavity for Zn(2+) entry in the inward-facing conformation and widens the luminal cavity for Zn(2+) release in the outward-facing conformation. An exceptionally long cytosolic histidine-rich loop characteristic of hZnT7 binds two Zn(2+) ions, seemingly facilitating Zn(2+) recruitment to the TM metal transport pathway. These structures permit mechanisms of hZnT7-mediated Zn(2+) uptake into the Golgi to be proposed. Cryo-EM structures of human zinc transporter ZnT7 reveal the mechanism of Zn(2+) uptake into the Golgi apparatus.,Bui HB, Watanabe S, Nomura N, Liu K, Uemura T, Inoue M, Tsutsumi A, Fujita H, Kinoshita K, Kato Y, Iwata S, Kikkawa M, Inaba K Nat Commun. 2023 Aug 8;14(1):4770. doi: 10.1038/s41467-023-40521-5.
