The ABCB8 is involved in the maturation of Fe-S and protects the heart from oxidative stress. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of human ABCB8 binding with AMPPNP in inward-facing conformation with resolution of 4.1 Å. hABCB8 shows an open-inward conformation when ATP is bound. Unexpectedly, cholesterol molecules were identified in the transmembrane domain of hABCB8. Our results provide structural basis for the transport mechanism of the ABC transporter in mitochondria. |
