Fig. 5. Model of the substrate transport cycle of SLC19A1.

Fig. 5

SLC19A1 utilizes the alternating access mechanism to reverse transport two substrates. Under physiological conditions, 5-MTHF and TPP are likely the favorite extracellular and intracellular substrates of SLC19A1, respectively. They compete for the same binding site within the central cavity of SLC19A1. The four key residues (Glu123, Arg133, Tyr281, and Arg373) for substrate recognition are indicated.
