Title: Structural basis of disease mutation and substrate recognition by the human SLC2A9 transporter.

Abstract: Urate provides ~50% of the reducing potential in human and primate plasma which is key to detoxifying reactive oxygen by-products of cellular metabolism. Urate is the endpoint of purine metabolism in ...Urate provides ~50% of the reducing potential in human and primate plasma which is key to detoxifying reactive oxygen by-products of cellular metabolism. Urate is the endpoint of purine metabolism in primates, and its concentration in plasma is a balance between excretion from kidney and intestine, and subsequent reabsorption in and through cells of kidney proximal tubules to maintain a regulated concentration in plasma. SLC2A9 is the primary transporter that returns urate from the basolateral side of kidney tubule cells back to plasma. A shorter splice variant of SLC2A9 is directed to the apical surface where several transporters recapture urate from the tubule back into cells. Too high a concentration in plasma causes hyperuricemia, is linked to gout, and favors kidney stone formation. To understand the molecular basis of uric acid transport and the role of disease-causing mutations in SLC2A9, we determined structures of human SLC2A9 in its apo form, and its urate-bound form by cryo-EM, at resolution of 3.3 Å and 4.1 Å respectively. Both structures are captured in an inward open conformation. Using the inward-facing structure as a template we modeled the outward-facing conformation to understand the alternating access mechanism. Alternative salt bridge pairs on the cytoplasmic side suggest a mechanism that can balance the energetics of the inward open and outward open states. The location of disease-causing mutants suggests their role in impacting function. Our structures elucidate the molecular basis for urate selectivity and transport and provide a platform for future structure-based drug discovery aimed at reducing plasma urate levels in diseases of hyperuricemia and gout.

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.

  • This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
  • The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
