Abstract excerpt
Flippases (type 4 P-type ATPases) are believed to translocate phospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflet in bilayer membranes. Since flippases are structurally similar to ion-transporting P-type ATPases such as the Ca(2+) ATPase, one important question is how flippases have evolved to transport phospholipids instead of ions. We previously showed that a conserved membrane protein, Cdc50p, is...
