Molecular basis of SLC19A1-mediated folate and cyclic dinucleotide transport. Nat Commun, 16:3146-3146, 2025 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The solute carrier protein SLC19A1 is crucial for transporting folate nutrients, antifolate chemotherapeutics, and more recently cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) immune transmitters, influencing various physiological and pathological processes. While the inward-open state of human SLC19A1 (hSLC19A1) has been previously described, key aspects regarding its conformational dynamics, substrate selectivity, and precise mechanisms underlying CDNs transport remain elusive. Using an antibody-facilitated conformation screening strategy, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of hSLC19A1 in its outward-open state with and without bound substrates, revealing detailed mechanisms of substrate recognition and conformational changes during transport. We identify both general and specific features for folate/antifolate recognition, including an SLC19A1-specific pocket for accommodating γ-carboxylate-modified antifolates. Intriguingly, CDNs bind as monomers within the canonical pocket of outward-open hSLC19A1, contrasting with dimeric binding in inward-open structures. Together with functional assays, these findings provide a framework for developing antifolate drugs and CDN-targeted therapies, advancing our understanding of SLC19A1's physiological and therapeutic functions.
