Cryo-EM structure of the human L-type amino acid transporter 1 in complex with glycoprotein CD98hc
2019-03-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) transports large neutral amino acids and drugs across the plasma membrane and is crucial for nutrient uptake, brain drug delivery and tumor growth. LAT1 is a unique solute carrier that forms a disulfide-linked heterodimer with the cell-surface glycoprotein CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc), but the mechanisms of its molecular assembly and amino acid transport ar...
