Schematic indicating conformational bias of SERT Ala56 and Asn605 relative to WT SERT. Limited proteolysis, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and cysteine-accessibility studies indicate that the Ala56 and Asn605 coding variants impose conformation that leading to a more outward-facing conformation of the transporter, facilitating access of 5-HT to the substrate-binding site under resting conditions.
