Description:
Cryo-EM structures of KdpFABC suggest a K + transport mechanism via two inter-subunit half-channels Cryo-EM structures of KdpFABC suggest a K〈sup〉+〈/sup〉 transport mechanism via two inter-subunit half-channels, Published online: 26 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-07319-2 The P-type ATPase subunit KdpB of KdpFABC hydrolyzes ATP while K+ transport was assumed to occur through channel-like subunit KdpA. Here, the authors show two cryo-EM structures of KdpFABC which suggest a translocation pathway through two inter-subunit half-channels formed by KdpA and KdpB.
