  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Zinc transporter 1 (ZnT1), the principal carrier of cytosolic zinc to the extracellular milieu, is important for cellular zinc homeostasis and resistance to zinc toxicity. Despite recent advancements in the structural characterization of various zinc transporters, the mechanism by which ZnTs-mediated Zn 2+ translocation is coupled with H + or Ca 2+ remains unclear. To visualize the transport dynamics, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human ZnT1 at different functional states. ZnT1 dimerizes via extensive interactions between the cytosolic (CTD), the transmembrane (TMD), and the unique cysteine-rich extracellular (ECD) domains. At pH 7.5, both protomers adopt an outward-facing (OF) conformation, with Zn 2+ ions coordinated at the TMD binding site by distinct compositions. At pH 6.0, ZnT1 complexed with Zn 2+ exhibits various conformations [OF/OF, OF/IF (inward-facing), and IF/IF]. These conformational snapshots, together with biochemical investigation and molecular dynamic simulations, shed light on the mechanism underlying the proton-dependence of ZnT1 transport.
