2.A.3.8.12
The Ser/Thr exchange transporter (SteT) (also transports aromatic amino acids with lower efficiency) (Reig et al., 2007). The substrate-bound state of SteT shows increased conformational flexibility and kinetic stability, enabling transport of substrate across the cell membrane (Bippes et al. 2009). TMS8 sculpts the substrate-binding site and undergoes conformational changes during the transport cycle of SteT (Bartoccioni et al., 2010). Mutations allow substrate binding but not translocation. Other mutations stabilize the protein and result in higher production levels (Rodríguez-Banqueri et al. 2016).
