Structural basis for alternating access of a eukaryotic calcium/proton exchanger

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of a member of the Ca2+/H+ (CAX) antiporter family from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a cytosol-facing, substrate-bound conformation is solved; using the structure, a mechanism by which members of the Ca2+:cation (CaCA) superfamily facilitate Ca2+ transport across cellular membranes is proposed.
