The structure of MgtE in the absence of magnesium provides new insights into channel gating.

The structure of MgtE in the absence of magnesium provides new insights into channel gating.

MgtE is a Mg2+ channel conserved in organisms ranging from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, including humans, and plays an important role in Mg2+ homeostasis. The previously determined MgtE structures in the Mg2+-bound, closed-state, and structure-based functional analyses of MgtE revealed that the bindin...
