Structure and function of heterodimeric amino acid transporters

异二聚体氨基酸转运蛋白的结构与功能。最近发现了一个新的氨基酸转运蛋白家族，其成员参与氨基酸在细胞和组织之间的转运。所有成员都显示出一种相当不寻常的结构，因为它们需要两个亚单位才能发挥作用。本研究的主要目的是研究大小亚基之间的相互作用。这项研究将深入了解膜蛋白如何在膜中形成复合物，以及这些相互作用如何影响复杂膜蛋白的功能。

Structure and function of heterodimeric amino acid transporters. Recently a new family of amino acid transporters has been identified, the members of which are involved in the delivery of amino acids between cells and tissues. All members display a rather unusual structure in that they require two subunits to be functional. The main aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between large and small subunits. The study will give insight how membrane proteins form complexes in the membrane and how these interactions affect the function of a complex membrane protein.
