PubMed Abstract: Zinc is an essential micronutrient that supports all living organisms through regulating numerous biological processes. However, the mechanism of uptake regulation by intracellular Zn status remains unclear. Here we report a cryo-electron microscopy structure of a ZIP-family transporter from Bordetella bronchiseptica at 3.05 Å resolution in an inward-facing, inhibited conformation. The transporter forms a homodimer, each protomer containing nine transmembrane helices and three metal ions. Two metal ions form a binuclear pore structure, and the third ion is located at an egress site facing the cytoplasm. The egress site is covered by a loop, and two histidine residues on the loop interact with the egress-site ion and regulate its release. Cell-based Zn uptake and cell growth viability assays reveal a negative regulation of Zn uptake through sensing intracellular Zn status using a built-in sensor. These structural and biochemical analyses provide mechanistic insight into the autoregulation of zinc uptake across membranes.
