| - | + | YiiP is a homodimer with transmembrane (TMD) and C-terminal (CTD) domains that are connected via a charge interlocking mechanism located on a flexible loop. There are 3 Zn<sup>2+</sup> | |
| + | binding sites per unit of homodimer. Site A is located in the TMD, site C is located in the CTD, and site B is located at the junction of the domains join. Both TMD are composed of 6 helices, 4 of which (TM1,TM2,TM4,TM5) form a pore in which Zn<sup>2+</sup> and H<sup>+</sup> can reach binding Site A. Zn<sup>2+</sup> binding at site C helps hold the CTD together and is thought to stabilize conformational changes in YiiP. | ||
