Citation | Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2025Title: Structural basis for the substrate recognition and transport mechanism of the human yLAT1-4F2hc transporter complex. Authors: Lu Dai / Qian Zeng / Ting Zhang / Yuanyuan Zhang / Yi Shi / Yaning Li / Kangtai Xu / Jing Huang / Zilong Wang / Qiang Zhou / Renhong Yan / ![]() Abstract: Heteromeric amino acid transporters (HATs), including yLAT1-4F2hc complex, are responsible for transporting amino acids across membranes, and mutations in yLAT1 cause lysinuric protein intolerance ...Heteromeric amino acid transporters (HATs), including yLAT1-4F2hc complex, are responsible for transporting amino acids across membranes, and mutations in yLAT1 cause lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI), a hereditary disorder characterized by defective cationic amino acid transport. The relationship between LPI and specific mutations in yLAT1 has yet to be fully understood. In this study, we characterized the function of yLAT1-4F2hc complex in mammalian cells and determined the cryo-EM structures of the human yLAT1-4F2hc complex in two distinct conformations: the apo state in an inward-open conformation and the native substrate-bound state in an outward-open conformation. Structural analysis suggests that Asp in yLAT1 plays a crucial role in coordination with sodium ion and substrate selectivity. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations further revealed the different transport mechanism of cationic amino acids and neutral amino acids. These results provide important insights into the mechanisms of the substrate binding and working cycle of HATs. | ||||||
