Chang Structure of MsbA from Vibrio cholera: a multidrug resistance ABC transporter homolog in a closed conformation J Mol Biol 330 2003 419 430 The author presents the 3.8 Å resolution crystal structure of the lipid A flippase MsbA from a different organism and in a different conformation to that reported earlier [6]. The structure is more compact than the previous one, and the ABC domains are arranged with their signature motifs facing the symmetry axis and contacting the opposing monomer. The structure of the ABC domain is distinct from those of all other ABC domains solved to date because the β-subdomain (including the P-loops) is rotated away from the α-helical subdomain by 120°.

In the open state, a gap is present between the ABC domains, whereas the regulatory domains remain in contact.
