Abstract excerpt
DMT1, also known as Nramp2, is an iron transporter, and belongs to the family of Nramp proteins. Disease-causing mutations both in Nramp1 and Nramp2 occurring at the conserved two adjacent glycine residues located within the fourth transmembrane domain (TM4) suggest that TM4 may serve an important biological function. In the present study, we have determined the high-resolution structures of a synthetic peptide,...
