Structural basis for polyspecificity in the POT family of proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters
An enigma in the field of peptide transport is the structural basis for ligand promiscuity, as exemplified by PepT1, the mammalian plasma membrane peptide transporter. Here, we present crystal structures of di- and tripeptide-bound complexes of a bacterial homologue of PepT1, which reveal at least two mechanisms for peptide recognition that operate within a single, centrally located binding sit...
متن کاملStructural insights into substrate recognition in proton-dependent oligopeptide transporters.
Short-chain peptides are transported across membranes through promiscuous proton-dependent oligopeptide transporters (POTs)--a subfamily of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS). The human POTs, PEPT1 and PEPT2, are also involved in the absorption of various drugs in the gut as well as transport to target cells. Here, we present a structure of an oligomeric POT transporter from Shewanella one...
متن کاملScOPT1 and AtOPT4 function as proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters with broad but distinct substrate specificities.
A group of OPTs (oligopeptide transporters) exclusively identified in plants and fungi are proposed to transport oligopeptides and derivatives of three to six amino acids in length, but their transport mechanisms and biological functions are poorly understood. We expressed the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) OPT ScOPT1 and five Arabidopsis thaliana AtOPTs in Xenopus laevis oocytes for two-elec...
متن کاملGating Topology of the Proton-Coupled Oligopeptide Symporters
Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters belong to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of membrane transporters. Recent crystal structures suggest the MFS fold facilitates transport through rearrangement of their two six-helix bundles around a central ligand binding site; how this is achieved, however, is poorly understood. Using modeling, molecular dynamics, crystallography, functional ass...
متن کاملAlternating access mechanism in the POT family of oligopeptide transporters
Short chain peptides are actively transported across membranes as an efficient route for dietary protein absorption and for maintaining cellular homeostasis. In mammals, peptide transport occurs via PepT1 and PepT2, which belong to the proton-dependent oligopeptide transporter, or POT family. The recent crystal structure of a bacterial POT transporter confirmed that they belong to the major fac...
