Journal ArticleDOI
Overcoming the challenges of membrane protein crystallography.
TL;DR: Technological advances are emerging for effective expression, solubilisation, purification and crystallisation of membrane proteins, which will lead to a rapid increase in the rate at which membrane protein structures are solved in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and Molecular Mechanism of a Nucleobase-Cation-Symport-1 Family Transporter
Simone Weyand,Tatsuro Shimamura,Tatsuro Shimamura,Shunsuke Yajima,Shunichi Suzuki,Osman Mirza,Kuakarun Krusong,Elisabeth P. Carpenter,Nicholas G. Rutherford,Jonathan M. Hadden,John O'Reilly,Pikyee Ma,Massoud Saidijam,Massoud Saidijam,Simon G. Patching,Ryan J. Hope,Halina Norbertczak,Peter Roach,So Iwata,Peter J. F. Henderson,Alexander D. Cameron +20 more
TL;DR: The 2.85-angstrom resolution structure of the NCS1 benzyl-hydantoin transporter, Mhp1, from Microbacterium liquefaciens is reported, revealing that the outward- and inward-facing cavities are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of a prokaryotic homologue of the mammalian oligopeptide–proton symporters, PepT1 and PepT2
Simon Newstead,David A. Drew,Alexander D. Cameron,Vincent L. G. Postis,Xiaobing Xia,Philip W. Fowler,Jean C. Ingram,Elisabeth P. Carpenter,Mark S.P. Sansom,Michael J. McPherson,Stephen A. Baldwin,So Iwata +11 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure of PepTSo is presented, a functionally similar prokaryotic homologue of the mammalian peptide transporters from Shewanella oneidensis, which reveals a ligand‐bound occluded state for the MFS and provides new insights into a general transport mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
MemProtMD: Automated Insertion of Membrane Protein Structures into Explicit Lipid Membranes.
Phillip J. Stansfeld,Joseph E. Goose,Martin Caffrey,Elisabeth P. Carpenter,Joanne L. Parker,Simon Newstead,Mark S.P. Sansom +6 more
TL;DR: A number of recently determined membrane protein structures are analyzed to predict their locations within a membrane, their lipid/protein interactions, and the functional implications of an enhanced understanding of the local membrane environment of each protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
K2P channel gating mechanisms revealed by structures of TREK-2 and a complex with Prozac

TL;DR: Crystal structures of the human TREK-2 channel are presented in two conformations and in complex with norfluoxetine, the active metabolite of fluoxettine (Prozac) and a state-dependent blocker of TREK channels, providing an explanation for TREK channel mechanosensitivity, regulation by diverse stimuli, and possible off-target effects of the serotonin reuptake inhibitor Prozac.
