Monitoring conformational changes in the human neurotransmitter transporter homologue LeuT with 19F-NMR spectroscopy. [PDF]
Neurotransmitter:sodium symporters (NSS) reuptake neurotransmitter molecules from the synaptic space through Na+‐coupled transport. Much of the current knowledge about these transporters and the multiple configurations dictated by the binding of substrates and ions, has been derived from examining the structure of the Leucine Transporter (LeuT), a ...

Structural basis of proton-coupled potassium transport in the KUP family [PDF]
Potassium homeostasis is vital for all organisms, but is challenging in single-celled organisms like bacteria and yeast and immobile organisms like plants that constantly need to adapt to changing external conditions.

Phylogenetically Driven Sequencing of Extremely Halophilic Archaea Reveals Strategies for Static and Dynamic Osmo-response [PDF]
© 2014. Organisms across the tree of life use a variety of mechanisms to respond to stress-inducing fluctuations in osmotic conditions. Cellular response mechanisms and phenotypes associated with osmoadaptation also play important roles in bacterial ...

Potassium Channel and NKCC Cotransporter Involvement in Ocular Refractive Control Mechanisms [PDF]
Myopia affects well over 30% of adult humans globally. However, the underlying physiological mechanism is little understood. This study tested the hypothesis that ocular growth and refractive compensation to optical defocus can be controlled by ...
