Cryo-EM Structures of CusA Reveal a Mechanism of Metal-Ion Export

The bacterial RND superfamily of efflux pumps mediate resistance to a variety of biocides, including Cu(I) and Ag(I) ions. Here we report four cryo-EM structures of the trimeric CusA pump in the presence of Cu(I). Combined with MD simulations, our data indicate that each CusA protomer within the tr...
