摘要

Recent progress in crystallographic studies of sodium-coupled secondary transporters hasnrevealed striking similarities in the structural organization of ion and solute binding. Previous reportsnsuggested that the Na2 sodium binding site in the neurotransmitter sodium symporter (NSS) leucinentransporter (LeuT) is conserved across sodium/proton coupled secondary transporters of many distantlynrelated families. This site is implicated in the conformational dynamics controlled by the binding and releasenof both translocated solute and ion(s) through a mechanism that largely remains unknown. In this study, wenused extensive equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, potential of mean force (PMF) computations,nand quasi-harmonic analysis of the LeuT transporter with and without sodium ion bound at the Na2 site tondelineate the role of this site in the conformational dynamics of the protein. PMF computations show that innpresence of the sodiumion inNa2 the conserved T354 residue is locked into a single rotameric state in contrastnto two degenerate states available in the absence of ion inNa2.Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggestnthe formation of a stable water wire fromthe cytoplasmto theNa2 site in the occluded state. It is plausible thatnlocal hydration plays an important role in transport cycle facilitating release of the ion from Na2. Annunbinding of the ion fromtheNa2 site leads to a tightening of the extracellular thin gates and a destabilizationnof the intracellular thin gate and thus may promote an unbinding of the cotransported substrate. The studynlends additional support to the hypothesis that one of the main drivers in the transport cycle of Na-couplednsecondary transporters is the binding of the Na2 ion that controls dynamical equilibrium between an inward-nfacing to an outward-facing conformation
