This family of antiporters is likely to represent the ancestor of cation pumps found in many redox-driven transporter complexes, including the complex I of the respiratory chain. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of the Mrp complex from a sp. strain solved at 3.0-Å resolution using the single-particle cryoelectron microscopy method. Our structure-based mutagenesis and functional analyses suggest that the substrate translocation pathways for the driving substance protons and the substrate sodium ions are separated in two modules and that symmetry-restrained conformational change underlies the functional cycle of the transporter. Our findings shed light on mechanisms of redox-driven primary active transporters, and explain how driving substances of different electric charges may drive similar transport processes. |
