Structural basis of a microbial trimethylamine transporter by Chao Gao, Hai-Tao Ding, Kang Li, Hai-Yan Cao, Ning Wang, Zeng-Tian Gu, Qing Wang, Mei-Ling Sun, Xiu-Lan Chen, Yin Chen, Yu-Zhong Zhang, Hui-Hui Fu, Chun-Yang Li

“…This study provides novel insights into TMA transport across biological membranes.IMPORTANCEThe volatile trimethylamine (TMA) plays an important role in promoting cardiovascular diseases and depolarizing olfactory sensory neurons in humans and serves as a key nutrient source for a variety of ubiquitous marine microbes. While the TMA transporter TmaT has been identified from a marine bacterium, the structure of TmaT and the molecular mechanism involved in TMA transport remain unclear. …”
