Title: Structural basis of auxin recognition and transport by the plant influx carrier AUX1.

AUX1 is the major auxin importer that actively takes up natural and synthetic auxins. However, the precise mechanisms underlying AUX1-mediated auxin recognition and transport remain elusive. Here, we present cryoelectron microscopy structures of Arabidopsis thaliana AUX1 in both apo and auxin-bound states, revealing the structural basis for auxin recognition. Structural analyses show that AUX1 assumes the LeuT-like fold in an inward-facing conformation and the auxin analog 2,4-D is recognized by polar residues located in the central cavity of AUX1. Furthermore, we identify a putative cation-binding site that contributes to stabilizing the inward-facing conformation. Interestingly, we reveal that His249 undergoes a substantial conformational shift, and its mutation completely abolishes transport activity, suggesting a crucial role for His249 in AUX1 gating. Collectively, this study provides a structural foundation for a deeper understanding of auxin influx by AUX1-like carriers.

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.
