The structural basis of lipid scrambling and inactivation in the endoplasmic reticulum scramblase TMEM16K

TMEM16K is a member of the TMEM16 family of integral membrane proteins that are either lipid scramblases or chloride channels. Here the authors combine cell biology, electrophysiology measurements, X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM and MD simulations to structurally characterize TMEM16K and show that i...
