Journal ArticleDOI
Role of conserved arginine and glutamate residues on the cytosolic surface of glucose transporters for transporter function.
Annette Schürmann,Holger Doege,Hartmut Ohnimus,Volker Monser,and Andreas Buchs,Hans-Georg Joost +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the conserved arginine and glutamate residues at the cytoplasmic surface of the glucose transporter GLUT4 are essential for its appropriate conformation, and that it is the interaction of charged residues which mediates the oscillation between outward and inward facing states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serine-294 and threonine-295 in the exofacial loop domain between helices 7 and 8 of glucose transporters (GLUT) are involved in the conformational alterations during the transport process.
Holger Doege,Annette Schürmann,Hartmut Ohnimus,Volker Monser,D. Geoffrey Holman,Hans-Georg Joost +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that Ser-294 and Thr-295 are involved in the conformational change in GLUT during the transport process, and that their substitution may arrest the transporter in an outward-facing conformation.
