The bacterial xylose transporter XylE serves as a model for GLUTs. However, although xylose and glucose bind with a similar affinity, xylose is transported, but glucose acts as an inhibitor. Here, using saturation transfer difference (STD) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we distinguished transported sugars from sugar inhibitors. Our findings revealed that only transported sugars generate STD NMR signals, which are abolished for xylose when XylE is trapped in either outward- or inward-facing conformations. Engineering the sugar-binding pocket and gating helix TM7b enabled glucose transport by XylE and corresponding STD signals. Using complementary molecular dynamics simulations, together with structural, biochemical and STD NMR analysis of related parasitic and mammalian GLUTs, we identified TM7b as a key determinant of occluded state formation. We conclude that, rather than the initial substrate-binding event observed in experimental structures, formation of a substrate-induced transition-state intermediate is the primary determinant of specificity in transporters. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
