A one-gate elevator mechanism for the human neutral amino acid transporter ASCT2

How the human Alanine Serine Cysteine Transporter 2 (ASCT2) binds its substrates, neutral amino acids, and releases them on the cytoplasmic side remains unclear. Here authors present an inward-open structure of the human ASCT2 which shows that a hairpin serves as a gate in the inward-facing state.
