Structural basis for pH-responsive amino acid transport via SLC7A4 The transport of amino acids across cell membranes is essential for metabolism, neuronal signalling, and immune system function. The amino acid polyamine organocation (APC) superfamily regulates amino...

Happy to share a new preprint from the Clarke & Vallese (@fravallese.bsky.social) labs reporting #cryoem structures of two RBC stomatin complexes – with AQP1 & UT-B - continuing the SPFH theme from our recent vault preprint! This was a fun one and has been cooking for a while - read on for more! ⬇️

Membrane protein shown with part of micelle density removed to reveal transmembrane protein regions.

Membrane protein shown with part of micelle density removed to reveal transmembrane protein regions.

LocScale-SURFER is a ChimeraX extension that shows cryoEM density maps after removing detergent micelles based on output from command-line program Locscale-2.0. Install it using ChimeraX menu Tools / More Tools.... More details at cxtoolshed.rbvi.ucsf.edu/apps/chimera...

Is the difference between AlphaFold and physical/bench structure determination methods the same as the difference between sex on the screen and sex with a real person?
