      This study uncovers a unique feature of the nucleotide binding domain interface in human CFTR, offering valuable insights into the effects of different non-hydrolytic mutations on CFTR gating. While the evidence presented is solid, a more thorough examination of the non-hydrolytic mutants of zebrafish CFTR for comparison would strengthen the authors' claims. In the current form, more cautious interpretations of some of the data are needed. This study will be of interest to researchers in the fields of cystic fibrosis and proteins in the ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter family.

      This important study employs multiscale simulations to show that PIP2 lipids bind to DIV S4-S5 linkers within the inactivated state of a voltage-gated sodium channel, affecting the coupling of voltage sensors to the ion-conducting pore. The authors demonstrate that PIP2 prolongs inactivation by binding to the same site that binds the C-terminal during recovery from inactivation, and they suggest that binding to gating charges in the resting state may impede activation, both findings that contribute to our understanding of sodium channel modulation. The coarse-grained and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations are convincing, including state dependence and linker mutants to back up the claims.

  4. The substrate-binding domains of the osmoregulatory ABC importer OpuA transiently interact

      The OpuA Type I ABC importer uses two substrate binding domains to capture extracellular glycine betaine and present the substrate to the transmembrane domain for subsequent transport and correction of internal dehydration. This study presents valuable findings addressing the question of whether the two substrate binding domains of OpuA dock and physically interact in a salt-dependent manner. The single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer and cryogenic electron microscopy data that are presented provide convincing support for the existence of a transient interaction between the substrate binding domains that depends on ionic strength, laying a foundation for future studies exploring how this interaction is involved in the overall transport mechanism.

      This is an important biophysical study combining native mass spectrometry with mutant cycles to estimate the thermodynamic components of lipid A binding to the ABC transporter MsbA. Solid evidence supports the binding energies for lipid-protein interactions to MsbA using this approach, which could be later applied to other membrane proteins in general.
