*'''Overall Fold:''' | *'''Overall Fold:''' | ||
:*Adopts the classic Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) fold. | |||
:*Comprises 12 transmembrane helices (TMs 1-12). | |||
:*Exhibits pseudo-two-fold symmetry, divided into an N-lobe (TMs 1-6) and a C-lobe (TMs 7-12). | |||
*'''Central Binding Cavity:''' | *'''Central Binding Cavity:''' | ||
:*The cavity is located between the N-lobe (formed by TM1, TM2, TM4, TM5) and the C-lobe (formed by TM7, TM8, TM10, TM11). | |||
:*It possesses a positively charged electrostatic environment, which explains its strong preference for transporting anionic substrates. | |||
:*The cavity is lined by 29 residues, forming a hydrophobic and aromatic-rich environment. | |||
*'''Cavity Borders and Cytosolic Gate:''' | *'''Cavity Borders and Cytosolic Gate:''' | ||
:*The top border (extracellular side) of the cavity is formed by residues including N35, Y230, Y353, and Y354 and are involved in substrate recognition | |||
:*The bottom border (cytosolic side) features a narrow "thin bottom gate" formed by residues M207 and F442. The interaction between these two residues splits the cytosolic entrance into two distinct pathways: | |||
::*Path A: Located between TM2 and TM11. | |||
::*Path B: Located between TM5 and TM8. | |||
:*This suggests that aromatic residues located at the top border are important for extracellular anion binding, while residues at the bottom play a role in exporting extracellular anions to the cytoplasmic side. | |||
*'''Conformational State:''' | *'''Conformational State:''' | ||
:*In the apo state, the transporter is in a relaxed, inward-open conformation, providing access for substrates from the cytoplasm. | |||
