| Abstract | Most P-type ATPases pump specific cations or heavy metals across a membrane to form ion gradients. However, the type IV P-type ATPases evolved the ability to transport specific phospholipid substrates rather than cations and function to establish plasma membrane asymmetry in eukaryotic cells. The mechanism for how a P-type ATPase, or any other transporter, can recognize and flip a phospholipid substrate is unclear. Here, through a combination of genetic screening and directed mutagenesis with the type IV P-type ATPases Dnf1 and Drs2 from budding yeast, we identify more than a dozen residues that determine headgroup specificity for phospholipid transport. These residues cluster at two interfacial regions flanking transmembrane segments 1–4 and lie outside of the canonical substrate binding site operating in cation pumps. Our data imply the presence of two substrate-selecting gates acting sequentially on opposite sides of the membrane: an entry gate, where phospholipid is initially selected from the extracellular leaflet, and an exit gate at the cytosolic leaflet. The entry and exit gates act cooperatively but imperfectly, with neither being able to restrict phosphatidylserine selection completely when the opposing gate is tuned to permit it. This work describes a unique transport mechanism for a P-type ATPase and provides insight into how integral membrane proteins can recognize and transport phospholipid substrate across a lipid bilayer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
