Structural basis of ion – substrate coupling in the Na+-dependent dicarboxylate transporter VcINDY

DASS carboxylate transporters linked to metabolic diseases couple the Na+ gradient to nutrient uptake. Here, the authors unravel the structural basis by which Na+ binding coordinates substrate interactions, revealing a distinct coupling mechanism.
