A novel proton transfer mechanism in the SLC11 family of divalent metal ion transporters

In humans, the H(+)-coupled Fe(2+) transporter DMT1 (SLC11A2) is essential for proper maintenance of iron homeostasis. While X-ray diffraction has recently unveiled the structure of the bacterial homologue ScaDMT as a LeuT-fold transporter, the exact mechanism of H(+)-cotransport has remained elusiv...
