Inward-facing structure of transition metal transporter

Our group studies the Nramp family of transition metal transporters, and recently determined this inward-facing structure
Clustered protocadherins involved in neuronal patterning form antiparallel dimers

We study the evolution, structure and assembly of clustered protocadherins, which are involved in neuronal self avoidance.
We use sequence coevolution analyses in our studies

Our recent BBA Biomembranes review highlights how these analyses are powerful tools in studies of membrane proteins

Conformations of an Nramp-family transition metal transporter

Our new structures illustrate the three principal conformations of an Nramp transporter.
