This "electromotility" is at the basis of the exceptional sensitivity and frequency selectivity distinctive of mammals. Prestin belongs to the SLC26 family of anion transporters and needs anions to function properly, in particular chloride. By X-ray crystallography here we reveal that the STAS domain of mammalian prestin, considered an "incomplete" transporter, harbor an unanticipated anion-binding site. In parallel we present the first crystal structure of a prestin STAS domain from a non-mammalian vertebrate prestin (chicken) that behaves as a "full" transporter. Notably, in chicken STAS the anion-binding site is lacking due to a local structural rearrangement, indicating that the presence of the STAS anion-binding site is exclusive to mammalian prestin. The STAS domain of mammalian SLC26A5 prestin harbors an anion-binding site.,Lolli G, Pasqualetto E, Costanzi E, Bonetto G, Battistutta R Biochem J. 2015 Dec 3. pii: BJ20151089.
