1 The human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1), a member of the SLC29 family, plays crucial roles in adenosine signaling, cellular uptake of nucleoside for DNA and RNA synthesis, and nucleoside-derived anticancer and antiviral drug transport in humans. Adenosine solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group) Homo sapiens
2 The human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1), a member of the SLC29 family, plays crucial roles in adenosine signaling, cellular uptake of nucleoside for DNA and RNA synthesis, and nucleoside-derived anticancer and antiviral drug transport in humans. Adenosine solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group) Homo sapiens
3 Despite its importance in human physiology and pharmacology, the molecular basis of hENT1-mediated adenosine transport and its inhibition by AdoRIs are limited, owing to the absence of structural information on hENT1. Adenosine solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group) Homo sapiens
4 Combined with mutagenesis study, our structural analyses elucidate two distinct inhibitory mechanisms exhibited on hENT1 and provide insight into adenosine recognition and transport. Adenosine solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group) Homo sapiens
5 Our studies provide a platform for improved pharmacological intervention of adenosine and nucleoside analog drug transport by hENT1. Adenosine solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group) Homo sapiens
