Uptake mechanism of iron-phytosiderophore from the soil based on the structure of yellow stripe transporter

Iron is an essential mineral in plant physiology. YS1 transporter imports iron–phytosiderophore complex (Fe(III)–DMA) from the soil. Here, the authors describe the cryo-EM structures of barley YS1 in complex with substrate, and a synthetic substrate analog.
