Abstract
ATP-binding cassette transporters couple ATP hydrolysis to substrate translocation through an alternating access mechanism, but the nature of the conformational changes in a transport cycle remains elusive. Previously we reported the structure of the maltose transporter MalFGK(2) in an outward-facing conformation in which the transmembrane (TM) helices outline a substrate-binding pocket open toward the periplasmic surface and ATP is poised for hydrolysis along the closed nucleotide-binding dimer interface. Here we report the structure of the nucleotide-free maltose transporter in which the substrate binding pocket is only accessible from the cytoplasm and the nucleotide-binding interface is open. Comparison of the same transporter crystallized in two different conformations reveals that alternating access involves rigid-body rotations of the TM subdomains that are coupled to the closure and opening of the nucleotide-binding domain interface. The comparison also reveals that point mutations enabling binding protein-independent transport line dynamic interfaces in the TM region.

Figure 2. Alternating Access in the Maltose Transporter
Ribbon diagram (left) and a 12 Å slab view (right) of the maltose transporter in (A) the inward-facing, resting-state conformation and (B) the outward-facing, catalytic intermediate conformation (Oldham et al., 2007). The maltose and ATP are shown in CPK and ball-and-stick models, respectively.

Figure 4. Conformational Changes in the MalK Subunits
(A and B) Ribbon diagram of the MalK (A) open dimer in the inward-facing structure and (B) closed dimer in the outward-facing structure. The two NBDs are colored in green and red, and the regulatory domains are colored in gray. The helical subdomains are indicated and colored in light green or red. The Walker A (WA) and the LSGGQ motifs are colored in blue and yellow, respectively. ATP is shown in stick models.
(C) Stereodiagram of MalK in the resting state. Using the regulatory domains (gray) as the frame of reference, rotations of the two NBDs (green and red) leading to the closed dimer are indicated.
