Here we report the 2.11-Å structure of human LYCHOS, revealing a unique fusion architecture comprising a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-like domain and a transporter domain that mediates homodimer assembly. The NhaA-fold transporter harbors a previously uncharacterized intramembrane Na pocket. The GPCR-like domain is stabilized, by analogy to canonical GPCRs, in an inactive state through 'tethered antagonism' by a lumenal loop and strong interactions at the cytosol side preventing the hallmark swing of the sixth transmembrane helix seen in active GPCRs. A cholesterol molecule and an associated docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-phospholipid are entrapped between the transporter and GPCR-like domains, with the DHA-phospholipid occupying a pocket previously implicated in cholesterol sensing, indicating inter-domain coupling via dynamic lipid-protein interactions. Our work provides a high-resolution framework for functional investigations of the understudied LYCHOS protein. | ||||||
