- 2012, January:
- Krishnamurthy H, Gouaux E. X-ray structures of LeuT in substrate-free outward-open and apo inward-open states. Nature. 2012 Jan 9. doi: 10.1038/nature10737. PMID:22230955 doi:10.1038/nature10737
- LeuT is a bacterial homolog of neurotransmitter sodium symporters that remove neurotransmitters from the synapse and terminate neurotransmission.
- A new substrate-free structure is outward-open
- 2011, September:
- Hansen SB, Tao X, Mackinnon R. Structural basis of PIP(2) activation of the classical inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir2.2. Nature. 2011 Aug 28. doi: 10.1038/nature10370. PMID:21874019 doi:10.1038/nature10370
- "On PIP2 binding, a flexible expansion linker contracts to a compact helical structure, the cytoplasmic domain translates 6 Å and becomes tethered to the trans-membrane domain and the innner helix gate begins to open."
- Probably suitable for a morph. The apo structure is 3jyc, and the PIP2-bound structure, 3spi. Supplementary information does not include any movies.
