    Mechanism of Na+-dependent citrate transport from the structure of an asymmetrical CitS dimer

    David Wöhlert, Maria J Grötzinger ... Özkan Yildiz
    The high-resolution x-ray structure of an asymmetrical SeCitS dimer, present in the inward- and outward-facing state, provides a complete mechanism of substrate and ion translocation in a sodium-dependent symporter.

    Coupled ion binding and structural transitions along the transport cycle of glutamate transporters

    Grégory Verdon, SeCheol Oh ... Olga Boudker
    Crystal structures of an archaeal homologue of mammalian glutamate transporters in apo and ion-only bound outward- and inward-facing states reveal ion-coupled conformational changes supporting mechanisms of coupling, gating, and transport.

    A minimal self-organisation model of the Golgi apparatus

    Quentin Vagne, Jean-Patrick Vrel, Pierre Sens
    An unbiased model for the self-organisation of the Golgi apparatus displays either anterograde vesicular transport or cisternal maturation depending on ratios of budding, fusion and biochemical conversion rates.

    Structural intermediates observed only in intact Escherichia coli indicate a mechanism for TonB-dependent transport

    Thushani D Nilaweera, David A Nyenhuis, David S Cafiso
    Pulse electron paramagnetic resonance on intact Escherichia coli reveals a substrate-induced structural transition in BtuB, the vitamin B12 transporter, which is not seen in reconstituted membranes and indicates a mechanism of transport.

    An ESCRT-LEM protein surveillance system is poised to directly monitor the nuclear envelope and nuclear transport system

    David J Thaller, Matteo Allegretti ... C Patrick Lusk
    ESCRT-driven mechanisms that sense and seal holes in the nuclear membranes directly monitor the nuclear transport system and the exposure of the inner nuclear membrane.

    A physical mechanism of TANGO1-mediated bulky cargo export

    Ishier Raote, Morgan Chabanon ... Felix Campelo
    TANGO1 functions as a linactant filament to stabilize shallow COPII-coated buds, and after which membrane tension regulation, possibly mediated by TANGO1-controlled membrane fusion, facilitates bud elongation for procollagen export.

    Tracing the substrate translocation mechanism in P-glycoprotein

    Theresa Gewering, Deepali Waghray ... Qinghai Zhang
    New P-glycoprotein structures reveal a substrate translocation mechanism and pathway across lipid bilayers that challenges ATP-binding cassette transporter norms.

    Thermodynamic evidence for a dual transport mechanism in a POT peptide transporter

    Joanne L Parker, Joseph A Mindell, Simon Newstead
    Two thermodynamically distinct transport mechanisms operating within the same binding site explains the remarkable promiscuity of POT family transporters towards peptide and drug ligands.

    A two-lane mechanism for selective biological ammonium transport

    Gordon Williamson, Giulia Tamburrino ... Arnaud Javelle
    A new cellular transport mechanism splits the substrate and separately translocates its fragments to achieve selectivity.
