Sampson C, Stewart M, Mindell J, Mulligan C
J Biol Chem . 2020 Oct; 295(52):18524-18538. PMID: 33087444
The ivalent nion odium ymporter (DASS) family (SLC13) plays critical roles in metabolic homeostasis, influencing many processes, including fatty acid synthesis, insulin resistance, and adiposity. DASS transporters catalyze the Na-driven...

Mulligan C, Mindell J
Methods Enzymol . 2017 Aug; 594:165-202. PMID: 28779840
Transporters are crucial in a number of cellular functions, including nutrient uptake, cell signaling, and toxin removal. As such, transporters are important drug targets and their malfunction is related to...

Fitzgerald G, Mulligan C, Mindell J
Elife . 2017 Jan; 6. PMID: 28121290
The number of ions required to drive substrate transport through a secondary active transporter determines the protein's ability to create a substrate gradient, a feature essential to its physiological function,...

Mulligan C, Fenollar-Ferrer C, Fitzgerald G, Vergara-Jaque A, Kaufmann D, Li Y, et al.
Nat Struct Mol Biol . 2016 Feb; 23(3):256-63. PMID: 26828963
Secondary transporters use alternating-access mechanisms to couple uphill substrate movement to downhill ion flux. Most known transporters use a 'rocking bundle' motion, wherein the protein moves around an immobile substrate-binding...
