From transporter to motor: Evolutionary and structural insights into the emergence of prestin's area-motor activity in mammals. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Prestin, a member of the SLC26A family, is essential for the electromotility of mammalian outer hair cells, converting voltage changes into mechanical work. In contrast, nonmammalian orthologues function as anion transporters. To investigate the molecular and structural basis of this functional divergence, we performed ancestral sequence ...
