In the fluorescence trajectories: the top panel shows the calculated apparent FRET efficiency (blue) from the donor (green) and acceptor (red) photon counts as shown in the bottom panels. The most probable state-trajectory of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is shown by the orange line. Statistics in Supplementary file 4. The histogram was fitted with two Gaussian distribution to obtain the relative population of the high FRET state P. Ignoring the small contribution of intrinsic closing (Figure 3H), we use KD=L (1-P)/P (one site-binding model), where L is the indicated ligand concentration, to determine KD (see Table 1).

Intrinsic conformational dynamics in the presence of unlabeled protein.

Closing rate (A) and average lifetime of the closed conformation (B) for OppA, SBD1 and SBD2 in the absence of ligand and in the presence of different concentrations of unlabeled protein to scavenge potential ligand contaminations. Examples of the high FRET transitions are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Error bars correspond to s.e.m. The closing rate was determined by dividing the total observation time of all molecules by the number of observed high FRET transitions. The statistical significance of the average closed state lifetime was determined by a two-tailed unpaired t-tests. The statistical significance of the closing rate was determined by testing for the difference in the proportion of time-bins in which a low to high FRET transition is made and using the z-test. Statistics in Supplementary file 4.

The conformational changes and dynamics of SBPs and the regulation of transport.

Schematic summarizing the plasticity of ligand binding and solute import via ABC importers. Intrinsic closing of an SBP is a rare event or absent in some SBPs (‘little intrinsic closing’). Ligands are bound via induced fit (‘ligand-binding via induced fit’). SBPs can acquire one or more conformations that can activate transport (‘multiple conformations activate transport’). Variations in cognate substrate transport are caused by: (i) openings rate of the SBP and substrate transfer to the translocator (‘faster SBP opening – faster transport’) and (ii) substrate-dependent downstream steps (‘kinetics of downstream steps are substrate-dependent’). Although SBPs can acquire a conformation that activates transport (‘conformational match’), transport still fails when: (i) the SBP has no affinity for the translocator and/or cannot make the allosteric interaction with the translocator (‘conformational mismatch’); (ii) the SBP cannot open and release the substrate to the translocator (‘SBP cannot open’); or (iii) due to the specificity and size limitations of the translocator (‘rejected by translocator’).
