Structural insights into the elevator-type transport mechanism of a bacterial ZIP metal transporter

The ZIP family (SLC39A) is involved in transition metal homeostasis. Here, authors use integrated approaches to conclude that the ZIP from Bordetella bronchiseptica (BbZIP) utilizes the elevator-type transport mechanism to achieve alternating access.
