ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters couple adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis to substrate transport across biological membranes. Although many are promising drug targets, their mechanisms of modulation by small-molecule inhibitors remain largely unknown. Two first-generation inhibitors of the MsbA transporter, tetrahydrobenzothiophene 1 (TBT1) and G247, induce opposite effects on ATP hydrolysis. Using single-particle cryo–electron microscopy and functional assays, we show that TBT1 ...[more]
