Title: Structural insights into the substrate transport mechanism of the amino acid transporter complex.

Abstract: The -type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), in complex with its ancillary protein 4F2hc, mediates the sodium-independent antiport of large neutral amino acids across the plasma membrane. LAT1 ...The -type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), in complex with its ancillary protein 4F2hc, mediates the sodium-independent antiport of large neutral amino acids across the plasma membrane. LAT1 preferentially transports substrates, such as -leucine, -tyrosine, and -tryptophan, thyroid hormones, and drugs like 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. Its pivotal role in cancer development and progression has established LAT1 as a promising therapeutic target. While prior studies have resolved the LAT1-4F2hc architecture and inhibitor interactions, the molecular basis of LAT1 substrate selectivity remains elusive. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of LAT1-4F2hc bound to -tyrosine, -tryptophan, -leucine, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, revealing distinct substrate binding modes. Comparative structural analysis highlights differences between LAT1 and LAT2 in substrate coordination, driven by key residues near the binding pocket that influence transport efficiency. These findings advance our mechanistic understanding of the LAT1-4F2hc complex and provide valuable insights for structure-based drug design targeting LAT1.

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.
