2.A.53.3.14
Bicarbonate:Na+ symporter of 564 aas and 11 putative TMSs. Crystal structures of the transmembrane domain (BicA(TM)) and the cytoplasmic STAS domain (BicA(STAS)) of BicA were solved (Wang et al. 2019). BicA(TM) was captured in an inward-facing HCO3--bound conformation with a '7+7' fold monomer. HCO3- bound to a cytoplasm-facing hydrophilic pocket within the membrane. BicA(STAS) is a compact homodimer, required for the dimerization of BicA. The dimeric structure of BicA was further analysed using cryo-electron microscopy and physiological analysis of the full-length BicA, and may represent the physiological unit of SLC26-family transporters. Comparing the BicA(TM) structure with the outward-facing transmembrane domain structures of other bicarbonate transporters suggested an elevator transport mechanism that is applicable to the SLC26/4 family of sodium-dependent bicarbonate transporters (Wang et al. 2019).
