Transporter proteins from the MATE (multidrug and toxic compound extrusion)(1) family are vital in metabolite transport in plants(2,3), directly affecting crop yields worldwide(4). MATE transporters also mediate multiple-drug resistance (MDR) in bacteria and mammals(5), modulating the efficacy of many pharmaceutical drugs used in the treatment of a variety of diseases(6-9). MATE transporters couple substrate transport to electrochemical gradients and are the only remaining class of MDR transporters whose structure has not been determined(10). Here we report the X-ray structure of the MATE transporter NorM from Vibrio cholerae determined to 3.65 angstrom, revealing an outward-facing conformation with two portals open to the outer leaflet of the membrane and a unique topology of the predicted 12 transmembrane helices distinct from any other known MDR transporter. We also report a cation-binding site in close proximity to residues previously deemed critical for transport(11). This conformation probably represents a stage of the transport cycle with high affinity for monovalent cations and low affinity for substrates.
