Abstract: Glucose-6-phosphate transporter 1 (G6PT1) is essential for systemic glucose homeostasis, and its deficiency causes glycogen storage disease type 1b (GSD1b). G6PT1 functions as a sugar- ...Glucose-6-phosphate transporter 1 (G6PT1) is essential for systemic glucose homeostasis, and its deficiency causes glycogen storage disease type 1b (GSD1b). G6PT1 functions as a sugar-phosphate/inorganic phosphate (Pi) antiporter, orchestrating G6P transport into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen driven by a Pi gradient. Despite its physiological significance, the molecular mechanisms underlying substrate recognition and antiport activity remain poorly characterized. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of human G6PT1 in apo, Pi-bound, and GlcN6P-bound (a G6P analogue) states, all captured in cytosol-open conformations. Combined with molecular docking and functional assays, these structures elucidate the molecular basis for Pi and G6P recognition in G6PT1. Comparative analysis reveals that Pi binding triggers an interdomain salt bridge formation, resulting in a thicker luminal gate and a more compact central cavity for G6P binding. In addition to the monomer, we identify a dimeric assembly of G6PT1. Mutating key residues at the dimer interface impairs transport activity, suggesting a regulatory role for oligomerization. Our findings thus provide a mechanistic framework for understanding G6PT1 working mechanism and its pathological dysregulation in GSD1b.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
