The crystal structure of the intracellular domain of ZntB, a transport protein that mediates the outflow of excess and potentially toxic metal ions. This protein is from the bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which can cause gastrointestinal illnesses in humans, and is found in other bacteria and plants.
