Cryo-EM structure of R-eLACCO2 in the lactate-bound state
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionTLBP_THET8 Part of the tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transport system involved in the uptake of lactate. This protein specifically binds L-lactate.[UniProtKB:P37676][1] RFP_DISSP Thought to play a role in photoprotection of the coral's resident symbiont microalgae's photosystems from photoinhibition caused by high light levels found near the surface of coral reefs. In deeper water, the fluorescence may be to convert blue light into longer wavelengths more suitable for use in photosynthesis by the microalgal symbionts.[2] References
