The racetam class of anti-seizure medications bind specifically to a membrane protein found in the synaptic vesicles of neurons called synaptic vesicle protein 2 (SV2) A (SV2A). SV2A belongs to an orphan subfamily of the solute carrier 22 organic ion transporter family that also includes SV2B and SV2C. The molecular basis for how anti-seizure medications act on SV2s remains unknown. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of SV2A and SV2B captured in a luminal-occluded conformation complexed with anticonvulsant ligands. The conformation bound by anticonvulsants resembles an inhibited transporter with closed luminal and intracellular gates. Anticonvulsants bind to a highly conserved central site in SV2s. These structures provide blueprints for future drug design and will facilitate future investigations into the biological function of SV2s. |
