A mechanistic switch from selective transporter to an ion channel impairs the filamentation signalling capability of ammonium transceptors in yeast

G. Williamson, A. S. Brito, A. Bizior, G. Tamburrino, G. D. Mirandela, T. Harris, P. A. Hoskisson, u. zachariae, A. M. Marini, M. Boeckstaens, A. Javelle

The paper shows that variations in the Twin-His motif of Amt-Mep transporters switch their function from selective transport to non-specific ion channel activity, impairing filamentation signaling in yeast.

A two-lane mechanism for selective biological ammonium transport

G. Williamson, G. Tamburrino, G. Dias Mirandela, M. Boeckstaens, M. Bade, A. Pisliakov, C. M. Ives, E. Terras, A. Bizior, P. A. Hoskisson, A.-M. Marini, U. Zachariae, A. Javelle

The paper reveals a two-lane mechanism for selective ammonium transport in Amt/Mep/Rh transporters using electrophysiology, yeast complementation, and molecular dynamics simulations.
