Multidrug ABC transporters translocate drugs across membranes by a mechanism for which the molecular features of drug release are so far unknown. Here, we resolved two ATP-Mg2+-bound outward-facing (OF) conformations of the Bacillus subtilis (homodimeric) BmrA, one by X-ray crystallography without drug, and another by single-particle cryo-EM with rhodamine 6G (R6G). Two R6G molecules bind to the drug-binding cavity at the level of the outer leaflet, between transmembrane (TM) helices 1-2 of one monomer and TM5-6 of the other. R6G induces a rearrangement of TM1-2, highlighting a flexibility that was confirmed by H/D exchange and molecular dynamics simulations. The latter also shows a fast post-release occlusion of the cavity driven by hydrophobicity. Altogether, these data support a new swing mechanism for drug transport.
