Unlike other RND transporters, MexY exhibits unusually large open clefts in the binding and extrusion states. To determine whether this feature is intrinsic to its drug-recognition porter domain, we created a chimeric protein, MexBYB, by replacing the funnel-like and transmembrane domains of MexY with those of the homologous transporter MexB, and determined its structures by cryoEM under apo and kanamycin-supplemented conditions. Under both conditions, MexBYB was reported to adopt symmetric-like and asymmetric conformations. Structural comparisons reveal that the unusually large open clefts are retained in MexBYB, indicating that this feature is intrinsic to the MexY porter domain. Cryo-EM structures of a MexB-MexY chimeric efflux pump reveal that large open clefts are intrinsic to the MexY porter domain.,Wang J, Tsutsumi K, Hirose M, Nakashima R, Kato T, Nishino K, Nakagawa A, Yamashita E Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun. 2026 Mar 1;82(Pt 3):83-93. doi: , 10.1107/S2053230X26001202.
