The substrate binding in the bile acid transporter ASBTYf of Yersinia frederikseniiXiaodong Wang, Ying Lyu, Yujia Ji, Ziyi Sun and Xiaoming Zhou [1] Molecular Tour In this study, four structures of an ASBT protein, called ASBTYf, are determined. In these structures, several ligand-like acid molecules, including a citrate, a glycine and a sulfate, bind in a putative substrate-binding pocket of the protein. The structural data are consistent with a computational model the defines the substrate-binding site, and support the binding pattern of bile acids. Functional analysis further validates the computational bile acid binding model, which provides structural insights toward its transport mechanism. in the PDB entry 4n7x. TCA molecule (cyan stick) docked into the outward-facing central cavity viewed from the extracellular side. . Comparison of the outward-facing ASBTYf-Pair1Linked and the inward-facing ASBTYf-Pair3Cit. TM4 and TM9 are displayed as rocket, and the bound citrate is shown in stick mode. The relative position of Extracellular part is labeled. The outward-facing ASBTYf-Pair1Linked (6lh1; teal):
The inward-facing ASBTYf-Pair3Cit (6lgv; orange):
These scenes show the example of a ligand-like citrate bound in the substrate-binding site defined by the docking model. More importantly, the citrate binds to similar locations in both outward-facing and inward-facing states, mimicking the binding of bile acids. References
