![]() | ![]() Title: Cryo-EM structure of a eukaryotic zinc transporter at a low pH suggests its Zn-releasing mechanism. Authors: Senfeng Zhang / Chunting Fu / Yongbo Luo / Qingrong Xie / Tong Xu / Ziyi Sun / Zhaoming Su / Xiaoming Zhou / ![]() Abstract: Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) is mainly expressed in pancreatic islet β cells and is responsible for H-coupled uptake (antiport) of Zn into the lumen of insulin secretory granules. Structures of human ...Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) is mainly expressed in pancreatic islet β cells and is responsible for H-coupled uptake (antiport) of Zn into the lumen of insulin secretory granules. Structures of human ZnT8 and its prokaryotic homolog YiiP have provided structural basis for constructing a plausible transport cycle for Zn. However, the mechanistic role that protons play in the transport process remains unclear. Here we present a lumen-facing cryo-EM structure of ZnT8 from Xenopus tropicalis (xtZnT8) in the presence of Zn at a luminal pH (5.5). Compared to a Zn-bound xtZnT8 structure at a cytosolic pH (7.5), the low-pH structure displays an empty transmembrane Zn-binding site with a disrupted coordination geometry. Combined with a Zn-binding assay our data suggest that protons may disrupt Zn coordination at the transmembrane Zn-binding site in the lumen-facing state, thus facilitating Zn release from ZnT8 into the lumen. | |||||||||
