abstract = {Thiamine (vitamin B1) functions as an essential coenzyme in
cells. Humans and other mammals cannot synthesise this
vitamin de novo and thus have to take it up from their diet.
Eventually, every cell needs to import thiamine across its
plasma membrane which is mainly mediated by two specific
thiamine transporters SLC19A2 and SLC19A3. Loss of function
mutations in either of these transporters leads to
detrimental, life-threatening metabolic disorders. SLC19A3
is furthermore a major site of drug interactions. Many
medications, including antidepressants, antibiotics and
chemotherapeutics are known to inhibit this transporter,
with potentially fatal consequences for patients. Despite a
thorough functional characterisation over the past two
decades, the structural basis of its transport mechanism and
drug interactions has remained elusive. Here, we report
eight cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the
human thiamine transporter SLC19A3 in complex with various
ligands. Conformation-specific nanobodies enabled us to
capture different states of SLC19A3’s transport cycle,
revealing the molecular details of thiamine recognition and
transport. We identified nine novel drug interactions of
SLC19A3 and determined structures of the transporter in
complex with the inhibitors fedratinib, hydroxychloroquine,
amprolium and amitriptyline. These data allow us to develop
an understanding of the transport mechanism and ligand
recognition of SLC19A3.},
