Abstract excerpt
Na+,K+-ATPases establish and maintain the vital electrochemical gradients for Na+ and K+ across animal cell membranes. The protein is a ternary complex composed of α, β and FXYD subunits, of which isoforms that fine-tune transport properties are expressed in a tissue-specific fashion. Here we report cryo-EM structures under active ATPase turn-over conditions of the ubiquitously expressed human α1β1FXYD1 and...
