“…In contrast, ATP8B1 remains poorly studied at the molecular mechanistic level. In particular, while several other P4-ATPases, and P-type ATPases in general, are tightly regulated by lipid co-factors, protein partners, or by their terminal extensions ( Azouaoui et al, 2017 ; Chalat et al, 2017 ; Holemans et al, 2015 ; Saffioti et al, 2021 ; Tsai et al, 2013 ), the way ATP8B1 activity is regulated remains unknown. Recent high-resolution structures of the yeast Drs2-Cdc50, Dnf1,2-Lem3 and the human ATP8A1-CDC50A and ATP11C-CDC50A flippase complexes have illuminated the molecular mechanism of lipid transport, providing a framework for understanding how these transporters are able to move lipids ( Bai et al, 2019 ; Bai et al, 2020 ; Hiraizumi et al, 2019 ; Lyons et al, 2020 ; Nakanishi et al, 2020b ; Timcenko et al, 2019 ; Timcenko et al, 2021 ).…”
