Research Abstract |
Active transporters are membrane protein that mediates translocation of various substrates across the biological membrane by consuming energy, and thus are important for maintaining intra- and extracellular environment. The secondary active transporters translocate the small molecules, including amino acids, nucleic acids, sugars and drags,by utilizing the electrochemical gradient of H+ or Na+ across the membrane. In this project, we focused on the three important secondary active transporters, multidrug efflux transporter MATE, Ca2+/cation exchanger CaCA, and oligopeptide symporter POT, and performed structural and functional analyses of these targets.
