| - | + | As the tail of LLO is attached to external helix, it acts as the switch for the ATPase to supply the ATP. The membrane protein PglK used energy given by ATP hydrolysis to flip the lipid(LLO) from cytoplasmic(in) side to periplasmic(out) side of the membrane. The positively charged belt is placed in the inside of the outward-facing cavity. The belt region attract the pyrophosphate in the LLO headgroup which is negatively charged. The fold of PglK is similar to other ABC exporters. But PglK has an external helix (short alpha-helix) parallel to the periplasmic side <ref> Perez, C., Gerber, S., Boilevin, J., Bucher, M., Darbre, T., Aebi, M., ... & Locher, K. P. (2015).

The beginning conformation is an outward-occluded conformation and the head of Linked-lipid Oligosaccharide(LLO) is on the cytoplasmic side. When the tail of LLO is attached to external helix, the ADP exchanges to ATP and the conformation changes to outward-open state. The head of LLO attaches to a positively charged belt facing to periplasmic side since the pyrophosphate has negative charge which attracts to positive charge. As ATP changes to ADP, the conformation returns to outward-occluded conformation and it squeezes the LLO head out to periplasmic side of the membrane and the tail of LLO is released to extend to cytoplasmic side. Therefore, the position of LLO is opposite through this mechanism. <ref name= "name"> Verchère, A., & Menon, A. K. (2015). Structural biology: Lipid gymnastics.
