Here, we report the 3.2-A resolution crystal structure of the EcfS protein of a folate ECF transporter from Enterococcus faecalis-EfFolT, a close homologue of FolT from Lactobacillus brevis-LbFolT. Structural and biochemical analyses reveal the residues constituting the folate-binding pocket and determining the substrate-binding specificity. Structural comparison of the folate-bound EfFolT with the folate-free LbFolT contained in the holotransporter complex discloses significant conformational change at the L1 loop, and reveals a gating mechanism of ECF transporters in which the L1 loop of EcfS acts as a gate in the substrate binding and release. Structures of FolT in substrate-bound and substrate-released conformations reveal a gating mechanism for ECF transporters.,Zhao Q, Wang C, Wang C, Guo H, Bao Z, Zhang M, Zhang P Nat Commun. 2015 Jul 22;6:7661. doi: 10.1038/ncomms8661.
