a, Ribbon representation of the protomer viewed in the plane of the membrane in which the transmembrane helices (1–8) and hairpins (HP1, HP2) are labelled and in different colours. The alpha-carbon atoms of Ser 279 (HP1) and Gly 354 (HP2) are defined by yellow spheres, which are equivalent to Ala 364 and Ser 440 of GLT-1 (ref. 29). b, View of the protomer from the cytoplasm. c, Schematic representation of the protomer fold. d, Slice of electron density from a 2Fo - Fc map, contoured at 1sigma, overlaying a stick model of a protomer.
