Structural basis of proton-coupled potassium transport in the KUP family

KUP transporters facilitate potassium uptake by the co-transport of protons and are key players in potassium homeostasis. Here authors identify the potassium importer KimA from Bacillus subtilis as a new member of the KUP transporter family and show the cryo-EM structure of KimA in an inward-occlude...
